How does conveyancing in Kenton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Kenton approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Kenton tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Kenton or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Kenton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Even where you use a solicitor outside Kenton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kenton 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.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
My partner and I are purchasing a studio flat in Kenton. When we first instructed conveyancer, they said that they were on all mainstream lender panels. Our mortgage broker contacted us just now to say that they don't appear to be on the Clydesdale approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we simply pick a different lawyer that is on their panel or should we cover the costs for separate representation, with Clydesdale appointing their own preferred property lawyer.
If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is usual for the buyer’s lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the conveyancing practitioner has to fulfill. Some building societies now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should call Clydesdale to find out 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 Clydesdale's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Kenton solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another property lawyer into the mix.
