My wife and I are buying a property in Calne. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to send money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

I am expecting a AIP from Bank of Ireland this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Bank of Ireland recommend any Calne solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Calne solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Bank of Ireland through the process.
My husband and I are at the point of viewing flats in Calne and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Yorkshire BS.
It would be prudent to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
I bought my apartment on 14 April and the transaction details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Calne advises it will be recorded in less than a month. Are properties in Calne particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Calne registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore post completion formalities is not usually primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Calne before appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not give a loan on such a house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different requirements from Nationwide. If you contact us we can check with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Calne. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Calne to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
