My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Bedfont. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the Lloyds TSB Bank approved list of lawyers. Can you help?
The first thing to do is e-mail the conveyancer and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you can call Lloyds TSB Bank who may be able to help.
Is it correct that all Bedfont CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Clydesdale conveyancing list of approved firms?

That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
Is it the case that all Bedfont conveyancing solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Many mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Bedfont. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays 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 Bedfont conveyancing practitioner is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Bedfont is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Bedfont are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bedfont you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bedfont may decide 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.
