We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel lawyer as I would prefer to instruct a high street conveyancing solicitor in Murton?
Do check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the lender to check if they make available a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Murton.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Murton. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Murton is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Murton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Murton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Murton 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.
Should I go with a Murton conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can carry out the conveyancing but they are based a couple of hundredkilometers away.
The benefit of a local Murton conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, present your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Murton know how is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and they were happy that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Murton conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
The estate agent has suggested using their property lawyer for the conveyancing in Murton - won’t it be advisable to just instruct them?
This is not necessarily the case and you are entitled to instruct whichever property lawyer you prefer for your Murton conveyancing. A conveyancing practitioner put forward by a 3rd party adviser may not always be the right conveyancer, they may recommend their preferred conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your lawyer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
