Is the fact that my solicitor in Plaistow is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Plaistow conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Plaistow is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Plaistow are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Plaistow you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Plaistow may ascertain 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.

Is it best to use a Plaistow conveyancing solicitor in close proximity to the house I am buying? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal work however her office is 300kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Plaistow conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and in the main were impressed that must trump using an unfamiliar Plaistow conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being round the corner.
