Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Great Yarmouth 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 plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% 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 Great Yarmouth conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I just acquired a property at auction in Great Yarmouth. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Having legally bound yourself to purchase you must hire the services of a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you are facing a tight deadline in which to complete the purchase. An auction property will have an associated legal pack. This will include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor will need. In the case of leasehold premises the legal pack may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You must give this to the lawyer working for you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that your finances are in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Is it the case that all Great Yarmouth conveyancing solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the TSB conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, TSB are being pedantic. The Great Yarmouth solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but TSB are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Great Yarmouth I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Great Yarmouth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
