I am nearing exchange of contracts for my flat in Marple Bridge and the EA has just text me to advise that the buyers are swapping law firm. I am told that this is due to the fact that the mortgage company will only engage with solicitors on their approved list. On what basis would a big named mortgage company only work with specific lawyers rather the firm that they want to appoint to handle their conveyancing in Marple Bridge ?
Banks have always had an approved set of law firms they are willing to work with, but in the last few years big names such as Nationwide, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for decades.
Mortgage companies point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the reduction – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Some are unaware that they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. The buyers are not going to have any sway in the decision.

I moved into my apartment on 1 May and my personal details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Marple Bridge advises it would be concluded inside ten days. Are properties in Marple Bridge uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Marple Bridge is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Marple Bridge is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Marple Bridge are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

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 premises.
