I am buying a house mortgage free in Bankside. I have resided for the last 20 years in Bankside. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Bankside conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. One thing to bear in mind; if you are going to dispose of the house one day, it could be of importance to your prospective buyer what the searches determine. Sometimes houses with functional issues can still reveal unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Bankside will be able to give you some constructive guidance in this regard.
we are a couple who intend to purchase a purpose built flat in Bankside with a loan from Barclays Direct.We would like to retain our Bankside conveyancing lawyer but Barclays Direct advised that she’s not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Barclays Direct panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Barclays Direct panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Barclays Direct approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Bankside is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Bankside are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bankside you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bankside 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.
Am I best advised to choose a Bankside conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am buying? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal work however her office is 200miles drive away.
The benefit of a local Bankside conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Bankside know how is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and they were content that should trump using an unfamiliar Bankside conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Bankside based.
I want to let out my leasehold apartment in Bankside. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Even though your last Bankside conveyancing solicitor is not around you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain permission via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
