I plan on purchasing a maisonette in Bedford. My Conveyancer is not on the bank solicitor panel. Can I still appoint my Bedford conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
One must appoint a conveyancing practitioner to complete the legal work required when you need a loan to purchase your home. The property lawyer will conduct all the necessary investigations on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One could appoint a Bedford conveyancing practitioner of your choice. However, if the solicitor appointed is not a member of the mortgage company approved list additional costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not historically sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Bedford is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Bedford are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bedford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bedford 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 residence.
