Me and my husband are acquiring a flat in Northallerton. My lawyer is not listed on the bank approved list. Can I still use my Northallerton conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank panel?
One will need to appoint a conveyancer to deal with the formalities if you require a loan to purchase your property. The conveyancer will carry out all the appropriate investigations on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One can instruct a Northallerton conveyancer of your choosing. However, where the lawyer appointed is not on the lender solicitor panel supplemental charges will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not historically sought membership they should take the chance to apply.

I purchased a terraced Georgian house in Northallerton. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and National Westminster Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should read 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).

You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
