I am buying a property mortgage free in Oswestry. I have been residing for the previous Seventeen years in Oswestry. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

If you not getting a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Oswestry conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to take that path of advice. Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it could be of importance to your future buyer what the searches disclose. Sometimes properties with apparent issues can still reveal unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Oswestry should be able to give you some helpful advice concerning this.

I am considering refinancing my apartment in Oswestry, does my lawyer have to be on the TSB Solicitor panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the TSB conveyancing panel, but TSB would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

Do I choose a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Oswestry?

There are two types of lawyers who can execute conveyancing in Oswestry namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. The two can administer conveyancing services that required to complete the disposal or acquisition of property.

I have paid off my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Oswestry lawyer on the Nationwide panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Nationwide mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nationwide mortgage from the register. Nationwide, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Nationwide has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Nationwide mortgage has been paid off.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Oswestry. My mortgage broker suggested a lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £150. A couple of days later, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the HSBC panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Oswestry is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Oswestry are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Oswestry you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Oswestry may determine 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 residence.

My uncle has recommend that I instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Oswestry. Should I use them?
