My mortgage broker has asked me for my Roker lawyer’ panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have e-mailed my local Roker office but they have not got back to me yet.

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Roker. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Roker before instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend not grant a loan on a flying freehold home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Roker.

On the basis that no conflict arises this is allowable. If you are requiring a home loan then the mortgage company may have a say as many lenders have specific requirements concerning this. For example for Leeds Building Society as of 23/12/2024, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

Yes, provided that:

• a different person deals with the conveyance (i.e. not the borrower);

• there is no conflict of interest and none arises during the transaction; and

• the Law Society guidelines are followed.
