My lawyer has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are buying in Piccadilly. The seller’s lawyers have suggested defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancer has advised that he must be satisfied that the lender is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the bank are the client. Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the bank can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Piccadilly. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Soon after, the property lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Nationwide 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 Nationwide 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.

I had an offer accepted on a house in Piccadilly on 4/6/2026, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Yorkshire BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

My offer on a detached house in Piccadilly has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Piccadilly. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with TSB started?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Piccadilly conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the TSB approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Piccadilly.

I require quick conveyancing in Piccadilly as I am under an ultimatum to exchange contracts inside 4 weeks. A mortgage is not required. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

As you are not obtaining a home loan you have the choice not to have searches carried out although no lawyer would suggest that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Piccadilly the following are instances of what can crop up and therefore affect the marketability of the property: Enforcement Notices, Outstanding Fees, Overdue Grants, Railway Schemes,...

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Piccadilly prior to appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not grant a loan on this type of premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you e-mail us we can look into this further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Piccadilly. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased parent's Will, with a property in Piccadilly which is to be marketed. The bungalow is unregistered at HMLR and I'm advised that many estate agents will insist that it is completed before they will move forward. What's the mechanism for this?

In the circumstances you refer to it seems sensible to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
