We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a Bracknell based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers should you want the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the bank to check if they make available a cash alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Bracknell.
Can I be sure that the Bracknell conveyancing solicitor on the Nationwide panel is any good?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Bracknell. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Kent Reliance be concerned?
Given that your lender is Kent Reliance your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Bracknell.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Bracknell conveyancing practitioner on the Leeds Building Society panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, 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 Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Bracknell is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Bracknell are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bracknell you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Bracknell 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.
I'm refinancing my current house to a buy to let mortgage with Clydesdale and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on another house. The area we are looking at is Bracknell. Will your conveyancers be able to act for both sets of mortgage companies and link together the conveyances?
Make use of our search tool on this site to be sure that the conveyancers are approved by both banks. On the basis that they are your lawyer should be able to simultaneously deal with the two transactions but you should talk with you conveyancer and make apparent your desired outcome and needs.
I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a house in Bracknell which will be marketed. The house is unregistered at HMLR and I'm told that some EAs will insist that it is in place before they will move forward. What's the procedure for this?
In the circumstances that you have set out it seems prudent to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
