What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Fenton? Is this really warranted?
You are right in the requirement set out by your lawyer has nothing to do with conveyancing in Fenton. However these days you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing transaction without first supplying evidence of your identity.

I am assisting my sister sell her house in Fenton. Does the solicitor order the energy assessment or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s remained a compulsory part of selling a house. An EPC should be commissioned before the property is advertised. It is not something that lawyers ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Fenton conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established local energy assessors

I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Yorkshire Building Society to clarify?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Fenton and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.

My husband and I have recently had an offer agreed on a property and had meeting on Wednesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to appointing a lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will be subject to an an additional fee of £200. This is because they would then have to instruct a property lawyer to act on their behalf as well as the one we select for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their fees. I have requested Nationwide to send me with a list so I can seek quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?
You can enquire of Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the solicitor of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide before. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide. Another option is to make use of our search facility and we should be able to find you a property lawyer in Fenton on the panel for Nationwide.
