However, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Canvey Island. My mortgage broker suggested a property lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Soon after, the lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

Santander have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Canvey Island has been accepted, what happens next?

The estate agent will wish to be advised as to your property lawyer's details (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Santander or the broker and finalise any appropriate forms. Santander will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to schedule a time for the valuation to take place.

Our sealed bid on a detached house in Canvey Island has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Canvey Island. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Canvey Island conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Canvey Island.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Canvey Island is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Canvey Island are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Canvey Island you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Canvey Island 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.

My father has encouraged me to appoint his conveyancers in Canvey Island. Do I follow his advice?
