My IFA says he needs my Yiewsley lawyer’ panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have tried my local Yiewsley office but they don't know it.
You are best placed to get this information from your Yiewsley conveyancing practitioner . Most Yiewsley conveyancing firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
My wife and I are approaching an exchange on a house in Yiewsley and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
The property lawyer is duty bound to check with mortgage company to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Yiewsley is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Yiewsley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Yiewsley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Yiewsley may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
