Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Lydiate and Melling. Is there a reason why all Lydiate and Melling conveyancing practitioners are not on all mortgage company panels?
Mortgage Companies normally impose restrictions on either the type or volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a organisation needs to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to reduce the size of their panel they use to represent them. It is worth noting that mortgage companies have no responsibility for the quality of advice given by any Lydiate and Melling conveyancer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the culling of solicitor panels from 2008 notwithstanding that there are opposing views concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data via HMLR indicates that thousands of law firms only carry out less than three conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel pruning question why conveyancing firms deserve any entitlement to be listed on a lender panel when it is apparent that property law is not their primary expertise?

I am selling our home in Lydiate and Melling and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Lydiate and Melling conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Lydiate and Melling. Having lived in Lydiate and Melling for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Lydiate and Melling?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Lydiate and Melling.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Lydiate and Melling ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may not give a mortgage on such a home.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to let out our Lydiate and Melling 1st floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Lydiate and Melling conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Lydiate and Melling do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

The prefered form of lease structure is where the freehold interest is owned by the leaseholders. In this arrangement the leaseholders enjoy control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is often retained if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Does this lease have more than 80 years remaining? How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments?
