I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. I intend to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in St Helens. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in St Helens. My lender is Nationwide Building Society
Nationwide Building Society have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 2/2/2026, the requirements read as follows :
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in St Helens 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
Assuming you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be retained by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and secure current copies of the property title for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in St Helens in advance of appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements from Nationwide. If you call us we can check with the appropriate lender.

We are one month into a leasehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the selling agent to handle our conveyancing in St Helens. We are not happy. Could you help me find new lawyers?
A conveyancer would have to be really poor to suggest changing them. Has your mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you must make them aware of the new lawyer and have the mortgage documents are re-issued. Your new solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental costs and delays. That should be your starting point.
