My fiance and I are planning to buy a home in Plasmarl and are in fact using a Plasmarl conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our solicitor has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with the expectation that exchange is imminent. TSB have this morning contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Plasmarl lawyer is not on their conveyancing panel. What do we do from here?
When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is standard for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Plasmarl solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
Is there a search tool that I can utilise to find out if the solicitor carrying out my conveyancing in Plasmarl is on the mortgage lender’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Nationwide Building Society thus spending £175.00 in further conveyancing charges.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Plasmarl is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Plasmarl are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Plasmarl 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 Plasmarl 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 premises.

I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased aunt’s Will, with a bungalow in Plasmarl which will be marketed. The bungalow is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that many purchasers will insist that it is in place before they'll move forward. What's the procedure for this?
In the situation 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.
