Birmingham Midshires have this evening contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Chesterton solicitor is not on their conveyancing panel. What do we do from here?

Where you are buying a property needing a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Chesterton solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

I decided to have a survey done on a house in Chesterton prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to grant a loan on such a premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Chesterton.

I need to switch lawyers as my Chesterton lawyer is not on the bank's approved list of conveyancing solicitors. Is it practical to instruct different lawyers?

If you haven't yet appointed a solicitor to do anything for you and at this stage simply received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Chesterton that you're considering.
