My mortgage broker has asked me for my Clowne law firm’s panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have called my local Clowne branch but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Clowne conveyancer . Most Clowne conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
A friend recommended that where I am purchasing in Clowne I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

I have todaydiscovered that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Clowne for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Clowne conveyancing specialists.
I am purchasing my first flat in Clowne with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it may jeopardize my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Clowne is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Clowne are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Clowne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Clowne may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
