Finally the sale completed on my house in Lake last July but my buyer keeps SMS messaging daily to moan that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What should have happened following completion?
Following your house sale your solicitor is duty bound to deliver the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Where relevant, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the home loan has been repaid to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Lake.
Is there a search tool that I can utilise to check that the solicitor handling my conveyancing in Lake 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 £187.00 plus VAT in further conveyancing bill.

My uncle pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Lake there may be a number of restrictions preventing external alterations to a property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Lake which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Lake should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as UBS, do Lake solicitors face a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Lake conveyancing practitioners are selected. How long does it take for RBS to issue the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have RBS completed the survey? Have you advised RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Lake is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Lake are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lake you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lake 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 property.
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Lake and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Lake. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Lake area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

I have been advised by numerous friends that it may take six to eight weeks for Lake conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The paperwork was only received from the vendors solicitor a few days ago so does the time start running now?
One should take with a grain of salt any assurance as to expedited completion times. Rather you should enquire about the average time it takes for them to complete Lake conveyancing transactions and if they are willing to move towards your proposed completion date for your conveyancing in Lake
