Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Ringmer is not on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 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) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Ringmer conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Ringmer is more expensive?
The conveyancing fees for a leasehold property in Ringmer is often greater than on a freehold residence. This is because there is an amount of additional investigations required in liaising with the freeholder and management company to obtain information concerning whether the rent and service charges have been cleared and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.

Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Ringmer is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Ringmer are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ringmer you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ringmer 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 property.
