Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Narborough is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume 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. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Narborough conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
I'm the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Narborough. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in January. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. Most lenders would take a sensible view as this provision chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
Can I be sure that the Narborough conveyancing solicitor on the Skipton panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Narborough obtaining recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer conducting your transaction.
My wife and I have organised the release of further funds on our mortgage from Bank of Ireland as we wish to conduct alterations to our home in Narborough. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Narborough solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Bank of Ireland don't usually instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

I am buying a new build house in Narborough with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the lender. 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.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Narborough. Before I get started I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Narborough - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
