My offer was accepted on an apartment in Linton on 17/8/2026, valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Solicitor appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to HSBC and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Linton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Linton is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Linton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Linton 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 Linton 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 property.
A couple of weeks ago I was told by my bank that their approved conveyancers work on no completion no fee basis for conveyancing in Linton. I had a purchase abort and now the lawyers want search fees! They say the fees are seperate!
By offering "no sale no fee" Linton conveyancing firms are waiving their charges for any work conducted. We should point out that this is NOT an insurance scheme. Disbursements aren’t covered – where the conveyancer have to pay money out to third parties, e.g. Linton local search fees
