I am not in a position to travel far from Rise Park. I would like to know the reason why all Rise Park conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for mortgage companies to restrict who can represent them, from the public’s or solicitor’s perspective, the other side of the coin is that lending institutions are becoming ever more anxious and feel it vital to protect them against mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern mortgage companies are limiting their conveyancing panel to a manageable size.
My home in Rise Park is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will my solicitor have to be required to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Rise Park is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Rise Park are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Rise Park you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rise Park 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 residence.
I was recommended by numerous estate agents in Rise Park to find a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your services rather than another?
We don’t give any commission for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I am thinking of appointing a conveyancing solicitor in Rise Park for my house move. Can I review a solicitor's record with the legal regulator?

I am due to review costs for conveyancing in Rise Park from various lawyer and appoint one. Should I ask them to hold tight until I I have my bid accepted on a apartment.
We would recommend that you wait to ask your lawyer to open a file and order searches after the sales memo has been sent by the estate agent especially as Rise Park conveyancing searches are costly.
