We are purchasing a flat in Clifton. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Clifton. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Clifton?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Clifton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must follow the formal instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Clifton.

I am downsizing from our home in Clifton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Clifton conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Clifton. Having lived in Clifton for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)

I used Wolstenholmes several years ago for my conveyancing in Clifton. I now require my file but cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?

You should contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to assist in tracking down your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Clifton of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously retained, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Clifton is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Clifton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Clifton 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 Clifton 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 residence.

Hoping to buy a property located in Clifton and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Clifton. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Clifton area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
