My partner and I are looking to buy a house in Holly Village and have appointed a Holly Village conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with a view to exchanging next week. TSB have this afternoon contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Holly Village lawyer is not on their conveyancing panel. What do we do from here?
Where you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Holly Village lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Holly Village is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Holly Village are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Holly Village you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Holly Village 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.
At long last our conveyancing in Holly Village is set to complete on Friday, yet the people I am buying off has asked to move out 24 hours later at midday. Should I accept such a plan?
