I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Moelfre is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Moelfre may decide 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.
I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Moelfre. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the invoice as normal because all rents and maintenance invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

My wife and I are purchasing a ground floor flat in Moelfre. At the point of instructing our lawyer, they assured us that they were on all mainstream lender panels. The mortgage broker contacted us today to say that they don't appear to be on the Co-operative approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we simply choose a different conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or should we pay for dual representation, with Co-operative selecting their own preferred conveyancing practitioner.
Where you are acquiring a property needing a mortgage it is normal for the purchaser’s solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the solicitor has to fulfill. Some banks now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your lawyer should call Co-operative and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on Co-operative's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Moelfre solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
