Is the fact that my conveyancer in Pound Hill is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (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. Where you are concerned you should contact the Pound Hill conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Pound Hill. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Pound Hill - 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.
