I am hoping to receive a mortgage with Halifax. I intend to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Canning Town. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?

Our lawyer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are buying in Canning Town. The seller’s lawyers have suggested title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our lawyer says that he must check that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the bank are the client. Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the mortgage company can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your conveyancer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Canning Town is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Canning Town are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Canning Town you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Canning Town 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.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent advised that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Canning Town

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Canning Town conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
