My financial adviser has requested my Seaton Sluice solicitor’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have tried my local Seaton Sluice office but they don't know it.

The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Seaton Sluice lawyer . Most Seaton Sluice law 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 about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Seaton Sluice but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the vendor of £2k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however Virgin Money are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?

Any conveyancer that is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is obliged to advise Virgin Money of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to report the price change to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Seaton Sluice.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Seaton Sluice ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks tend not issue a mortgage on this type of property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Seaton Sluice.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Seaton Sluice. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Seaton Sluice - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
