It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 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 Fairbourne conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

Me and my brother own a renovated Victorian house in Fairbourne. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Britannia. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Fairbourne and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

I'm converting the mortgage on my existing house to a buy to let loan with Barclays and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on another house. The area we are looking at is Fairbourne. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of mortgage companies and tie in the transactions?
