Is the fact that my conveyancer in Leegomery is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Leegomery conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Leegomery?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Leegomery. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Leegomery before retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks will not grant a mortgage on such a house.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions from Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Leegomery. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
What does commercial conveyancing in Leegomery cover?
Leegomery conveyancing for business premises covers a broad array of services, given by regulated solicitors, relating to business property. By way of example, this type of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the transfer of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of leases.
A licensed conveyancer dealt with my conveyancing in Leegomery 5 years ago and was holding my deeds but has since been shut down – how do I get hold of them?
Deeds, as such, no longer exist as most homes in Leegomery are registered digitally at Land Registry. Should you need to show ownership or are disposing of or re-mortgaging your solicitor can obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.
