I am not well enough to travel far from Needham Market. I would like to know the logic why all Needham Market conveyancers are not on all bank panels?
Lenders highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The dismissal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in mortgage companies pruning less reputable firms off their panel of approved conveyancing practitioners .

I have recentlybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Needham Market for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Needham Market is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Needham Market are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Needham Market you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly.

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.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Needham Market. Conveyancing and Alliance & Leicester mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing solicitor in Needham Market who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Needham Market conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
