Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Ireleth and Askam is not on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Ireleth and Askam conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

I am purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Ireleth and Askam. Our aim is to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will legal investigations on the property involve enquiries to determine if these works are prohibited?
Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Ireleth and Askam can sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of changes or need the consent of another owner. Many works call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Is it the case that all Ireleth and Askam solicitor practices on the Aldermore conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Ireleth and Askam took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Ireleth and Askam is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Ireleth and Askam are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ireleth and Askam you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ireleth and Askam 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.
