I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Angel. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A few days later, the lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

About to purchase house in Angel. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Angel conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality conveyancing panel.
My offer on a house in Angel has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Angel. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Lloyds?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Angel conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your solicitor is on the Lloyds approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Lloyds and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with searches.

Flying freeholds in Angel are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Angel you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Angel may ascertain 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 residence.
