I am expecting a AIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Edenthorpe solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Edenthorpe solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Edenthorpe. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A few days later, the lawyer called me to say that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the HSBC panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Edenthorpe is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Edenthorpe are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Edenthorpe you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Edenthorpe 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 residence.

Whilst the vast majorities of properties in Edenthorpe are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still some that are unregistered. Any property in Edenthorpe that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HM Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Edenthorpe property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Edenthorpe conveyancing solicitors should be capable of dealing with this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty reigns the usual advice nowadays is for the current owners to register the title first and thereafter sell - this can though naturally cause a significant delay.
