We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Clydesdale as we want to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Common Edge. Do we need to select a high street Common Edge solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Clydesdale do not ordinarily appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure the lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Contact Kent Reliance or your financial adviser and complete any appropriate documentation. Kent Reliance will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Kent Reliance will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Common Edge.
I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to have this when purchasing a property in Common Edge? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that means some house owners living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards maintenance to the chancel within the church.

I've recently found out 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, chain free conveyancing. Common Edge is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Common Edge are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Common Edge you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Common Edge 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.
