We had chosen conveyancing lawyers locally in Oswestry on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional fee for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Clydesdale?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Clydesdale but by your Oswestry property lawyer. Some firms on the Clydesdale panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

How can we know in advance if a Oswestry conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?

I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require chancel insurance when purchasing a property in Oswestry? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that owners of property residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards maintenance to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Oswestry?

Unless a prior purchase of the property completed post 12 October 2013 you can expect conveyancing practitioners conducting conveyancing in Oswestry to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.

Am I right to be concerned that estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Oswestry conveyancing firm?

As with many service providers, often input from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all recommend solicitors to retain. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.

My mother and father are having difficulties in finding their Oswestry property on the HM Land Registry online search facility. They recall that back in the 70’s when they purchased the house there were complications concerning Oswestry not being recognised in some systems.

The vast majority of premises in Oswestry should be revealed. Have you tried a search with just the postcode. Usually it will mention all the houses and flats within the postcode. Where registered it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The property may still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title deeds which may be with your parent’s lender.
