I plan on purchasing residence in Goodmayes. My lawyer is not listed on the lender solicitor list. Is it possible for me to use my Goodmayes conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

- Complete the deal with your chosen Goodmayes conveyancer but your bank will no doubt retain a property lawyer from their approved panel. The net result is additional cost together with probable interruption.
- Appoint a fresh solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancing practitioner to pull out all the stops to get accepted on the mortgage company panel of solicitors

We are purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Goodmayes. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the property.Will legal investigations on the property involve investigations to ascertain if these works were previously refused?
Your property lawyer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Goodmayes can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of works or necessitated the consent of another owner. Certain works call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Goodmayes off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Co-operative. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Goodmayes accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Goodmayes. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Aldermore started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Goodmayes conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your lawyer is on the Aldermore approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Aldermore and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Goodmayes.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Goodmayes is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Goodmayes are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Goodmayes you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Goodmayes 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 premises.
