Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Martlesham conveyancing lawyers are appointed. How long does it take for RBS to forward the offer to the property lawyer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have RBS done the valuation? Have you advised RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Martlesham. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Shortly after, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Skipton panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

How does conveyancing in Martlesham differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Martlesham approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Martlesham usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Martlesham or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Martlesham is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Martlesham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Martlesham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Martlesham may determine 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 residence.
