It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Dosthill. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Dosthill involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
My flat in Dosthill is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my conveyancing practitioner have to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.

I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Dosthill building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Dosthill conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the lawyer is on the bank approved list, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Dosthill. The standard information given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the owner to find out if the premises has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser could bring a claim for damages stemming from an inaccurate answer. The buyer’s conveyancers should also conduct an enviro report. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be made.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Dosthill is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Dosthill are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Dosthill you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dosthill 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.
