My wife and I have a renovated Georgian house in Lowestoft. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Bank of Scotland to clarify?

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Lowestoft and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

Taking into account that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a property in Lowestoft I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor regarding thetransaction prior to giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint their chosen solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Lowestoft

We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Lowestoft conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?

Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the lender solicitor panel.
