It has come to my attention via my lender that my Newham lawyer is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to be certain if this is indeed the case?
Your first step should be to call your Newham lawyer directly. You lawyer should advise you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
We are buying a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Newham who is on the RBS approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

I have recentlyfound out that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Newham for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Newham conveyancing specialists.
I have been recommended by a number of property agents in Newham to choose a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your services rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t offer any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Newham. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Newham - 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.
I inherited a basement flat in Newham. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the premium payable for the purchase of the freehold?
Most definitely. We can put you in touch with a Newham conveyancing firm who can help.
