Is the fact that my conveyancer in Keyworth is not identified on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?
That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Keyworth conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
My conveyancer has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Keyworth. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor says that he must ensure that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
Regardless of the fact that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender conditions must be adhered to.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Keyworth is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Keyworth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Keyworth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Keyworth may ascertain 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 have been pointed in your direction by a couple of local property agents in Keyworth to select a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your site rather than another?
We don’t make any financial incentive for sending work our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
