My husband and I have organised the release of further funds on our home loan from Santander as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our property in Calverton. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Calverton solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Santander don't usually require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Santander list.
We were going to get a AIP from Kent Reliance this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Calverton solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Calverton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
Me and my brother own a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Calverton. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Barnsley Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Calverton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Calverton is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Calverton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Calverton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Calverton 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 premises.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Calverton. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the service charge as normal given that all ground rent and service payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
