How up to date is your search tool for Raynes Park conveyancing solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Do Clydesdale send you an updated list?
Raynes Park conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Clydesdale directly.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would prefer to instruct a Raynes Park based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors where you take up the "fee-free" offer. Call the bank and explore if they offer you a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Raynes Park.

We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers located in Raynes Park on the HSBC solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate amount for dealing with the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by HSBC?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by HSBC but by your Raynes Park conveyancer. Some firms on the HSBC panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
We expect to receive a DIP from Lloyds this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Raynes Park solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Raynes Park solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.

I have a renovated Georgian property in Raynes Park. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Barclays Direct. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess 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 Raynes Park and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
Please set a few of distinct advantages to using a local property lawyer in Raynes Park
Lots of house movers in Raynes Park prefer a local conveyancer so that they can pop into the lawyer’s offices just in case they have concerns, and to sign documents rather taking the chance of depending on the post.
One could say that there exists a distinct edge when opting for a property lawyer nearby to a property you are planning to purchase, due to the familiarity of the region and potential local concerns - but this is moot. The majority of conveyancers carry out their work online and could be any place in the world.
