My husband and I are buying a maisonette in Kearsley. My property lawyer is not listed on the bank approved list. Can I still appoint my Kearsley conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender approved list?

A purchaser’s solicitors will also conduct an environmental report. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be made.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Kearsley is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?

Even where you use a solicitor outside Kearsley 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 Kearsley may decide 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.
