Is the fact that my solicitor in Cilcain is not identified on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Cilcain conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

As long as you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be documented by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and order up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Cilcain is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Cilcain are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cilcain you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cilcain 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.
I was advised by numerous property agents in Cilcain to choose a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your services ahead of a competitor’s?
We don’t give any referral fee for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Cilcain. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Cilcain - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
