Me and my partner are purchasing a apartment in Anlaby. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we will need to send funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
We previously appointed conveyancers located in Anlaby on the Lloyds solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further fee for the legal aspects of the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Lloyds?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer may levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Lloyds but by your Anlaby conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Lloyds panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Anlaby solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Anlaby is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Anlaby are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Anlaby you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Anlaby 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.
