I have a semi-detached Georgian house in Bulkington. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bulkington and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.

My brother mentioned that before choosing a conveyancing lawyer they must be approved by your lender. It happens to be my first house move but I have an AIP from Santander and I already have a bricks and morter conveyancing lawyer in Bulkington in place. Will Santander insist on an approved conveyancer to be selected? If so, where can I find that list for my conveyancing in Bulkington?

You need to choose a solicitor that is on the Santander panel. Simply ring your chosen Bulkington conveyancing lawyer and ask if they are on the Santander panel. If they are not approved you have a number of alternatives open to you here:

• Complete the purchase with your existing Bulkington but Santander will undoubtedly instruct a from their approved list. The net result is additional charges and potential frustration.
• Choose a fresh to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the Santander conveyancing panel.
• Convince your to pull out all the stops to get listed on the Santander conveyancing panel.
