I can't travel far from Parkstone. Is there a reason why all Parkstone solicitors are not on all lender panels?
As inequitable as it may appear for mortgage companies to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s perspective, the other side of the coin is that mortgage companies are increasingly anxious and regard it necessary to defend themselves from mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern lenders are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Parkstone and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Parkstone conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Parkstone. Having lived in Parkstone for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I am buying a new build apartment in Parkstone. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Parkstone is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Parkstone are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Parkstone you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Parkstone may decide 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.
I'm remortgaging my current house to a buy to let loan with Chelsea Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity towards another property. The area we are talking about is Parkstone. Will your solicitors be able to act for both sets of mortgage companies and link together the two deals?
Do use our search tool on this site to be sure that the solicitors are on the appropriate lender panels. Having checked that they are the lawyer will be able to connect the two conveyancing matters but you should talk with you conveyancer and communicate your expectations and requirements.
My fiance and I are buying a three room first floor flatin Parkstone with a home loan from a bank. We wish to instruct our conveyancer in Parkstone but our bank advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our mortgage company panel firms or keep our Parkstone solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our mortgage company. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Parkstone lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company home loan issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Parkstone : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
