I am not well enough to travel far from Darwen. Please clarify why all Darwen conveyancers are not on all mortgage company panels?
A decade ago most lenders displayed an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The FSA in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the solicitors on your panel. Accordingly, banks have since looked to extract more data from law firms concerning their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Thousands of firms have been removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the minimum volume of transactions the mortgage companies set.
I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Darwen. 95% of the properties have already been disposed of. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Darwen?
Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your mortgage company will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Darwen conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your lawyer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to swap to an alternative solicitor for your conveyancing in Darwen.

I bought my house on 2 May and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Darwen said it would be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Darwen uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Darwen registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not always primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Darwen is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Darwen are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Darwen you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Darwen 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 property.
