I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Kensington. I need to find out if they are on the Birmingham Midshires conveyancing panel. Could you advise?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Kensington is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Kensington are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kensington you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kensington may determine 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 property.
