Please help - my lawyer advises that lack of right of way insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Fairfield conveyancing?

The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

Is it correct that all Fairfield CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the UBS conveyancing list of approved solicitors?

It is true that some banks and building societies now use CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of firms.

My offer was accepted on a property in Fairfield on 17/4/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Skipton and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Fairfield is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Fairfield are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Fairfield you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Fairfield 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.
