I'm in the process of switching my current residential home loan to a Buy to Let Lloyds TSB Bank mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I need a solicitor for this.

I have recentlyfound out that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Nuthall for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Nuthall conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Nuthall differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Nuthall come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Nuthall usually buy the site, 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 conveyancers 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 Nuthall or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Nuthall is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Nuthall are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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 husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct their chosen solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Nuthall
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is counter productive.
