Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Liversedge. Is there a reason why all Liversedge lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?

Lenders ordinarily restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that the firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some banks made a decision to limit the size of their panel they allow to act for them. It is worth noting that lenders have no responsibility for the standard of advice supplied by any Liversedge conveyancer on their panel. Property fraud was a key driver in the culling of conveyancing panels from 2008 even though there are differing thoughts about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by HMLR reveal that thousands of law firms only transact less than three conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel pruning question why conveyancing firms should have the right to be on a bank panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Liversedge. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Halifax to clarify?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Liversedge and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
