Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Rossett is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% 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 Rossett conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
The Rossett conveyancing firm handling our Rossett conveyancing has spotted a difference between the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action correct?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Rossett? Is this really necessary?

The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Should you are unwilling to hand over ID verification documents, your lawyer would not be able to act for you.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Rossett is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Rossett are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Rossett you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Rossett 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.

It is possible that there is a residents association that residents make annual payments to maintain the road. Where there is one, the road should be maintained and look nicer than publicly maintained.
