My husband and I have organised the release of further funds on our home loan from Lloyds as we intend to carry out improvements to our property in Crawcrook and Ryton. Do we need to appoint a high street Crawcrook and Ryton solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

Lloyds would not normally require firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds panel.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, RBS are being a right pain. The Crawcrook and Ryton solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but RBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Crawcrook and Ryton. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Crawcrook and Ryton is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Crawcrook and Ryton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Crawcrook and Ryton you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Crawcrook and Ryton may decide 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 premises.

The benefit of a high street Crawcrook and Ryton conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and on the whole were impressed that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Crawcrook and Ryton conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
