My apartment in Ormskirk is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will my conveyancer have to be required to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the HSBC conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale.

You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently in recent years.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Ormskirk is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
