Is the fact that my conveyancer in Creekmouth is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Creekmouth conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
My wife and I are about to complete on the purchase of a property in Creekmouth but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the owner of three thousand pounds taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Virgin Money are not allowing this. Why were they approached?
Your lawyer being on a Virgin Money approved list is required to disclose to Virgin Money of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your solicitor to notify the reduction to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Creekmouth.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Creekmouth I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Creekmouth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

My mother and father are having difficulties in finding their Creekmouth property on the HMLR site. They have a vague memory back in the 70’s when they bought the house there were complications with the address not being identified on some systems.
Nearly all properties in Creekmouth should appear. Have you limited your search to simply the postcode. Usually it will reveal all the residences inside the postcode. Where registered it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address could still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title deeds which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
