Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Dukinfield. Please clarify why all Dukinfield property lawyers aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?

Pre- 2008 most lenders demonstrated an attitude to risk which is different than today. The financial regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the property lawyers on your panel. As a result, banks have subsequently looked to extract more data from law firms concerning their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Hundreds of firms have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible satisfy the criteria of volume of transactions the lenders insisted on.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Dukinfield is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Dukinfield are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dukinfield 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.

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Dukinfield

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Dukinfield conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
