I plan on acquiring a leasehold flat in Ketton. My Conveyancer has never been on on the mortgage company approved panel. Am I still permitted to appoint my Ketton conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You must appoint a solicitor to complete the legal work required when you take out a mortgage to purchase your home. They will carry out all the necessary legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. You may select a Ketton property lawyer of your choosing. However, if the property lawyer appointed is not on the bank conveyancing panel supplemental costs will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not in the past applied for membership they can do so.
AssumingI were to purchase a freehold homein Ketton mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Ketton?
Any savings you would make would be limited to the disbursement for searches. The lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with the sellers lawyer, SDLT submission, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a charge however it won't be a lot.
Are the Ketton conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the RBS conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by RBS?
Ketton conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from RBS directly.
Is there a search tool that I can use to discover of the solicitor carrying out my conveyancing in Ketton is on the bank’sconveyancing panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Coventry Building Society thus spending £175.00 in additional legal fees.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Ketton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Ketton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ketton you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Ketton 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.
I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a house in Ketton which will be sold. The bungalow has never been registered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that some buyers solicitors will insist that it is completed before they will move forward. What's the mechanism for this?
In the situation you refer to it seems advisable to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
