Me and my partner are buying a 3 bedroom flat in Sherston with a mortgage. We have a Sherston lawyer, but the mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to use one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Sherston conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We regard this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Sherston conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Assuming the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and get current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver.

My conveyancer (based 250 miles from mehas requested that I sign a stat dec before the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Sherston who can witness this legal document for me?

My mum and dad cant seem to find their Sherston property on the HM Land Registry online search facility. They recall that fifty years ago when they acquired the property there were complications concerning Sherston not being recognised in some systems.
Almost all premises in Sherston should be revealed. Have you tried a search with simply the postcode. Usually it will identify all the properties inside the postcode. Where recorded it will be there with a title number. Where they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The address might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title deeds which may be with your parent’s mortgage company.
