My home in Cannington is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will my property lawyer need to be required to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.
My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Cannington and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Cannington. Having lived in Cannington for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Cannington 4 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical deeds to evidence that you are the registered proprietor of land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Cannington. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Cannington

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please supply a car parking plan. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Cannington is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Cannington are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Cannington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cannington 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 property.
