Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Rothbury is more expensive?
Rothbury leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving appropriate notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Co-operative, do Rothbury property lawyers incur an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?

Does a directory service exist listing RBS panel conveyancers in Rothbury on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Rothbury is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Rothbury?

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 simple, chain free conveyancing. Rothbury is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Rothbury 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 Rothbury you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rothbury 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.

My wife and I have AIP from Clydesdale who said that they will loan up to £117k. At what point do we need to instruct a practitioner for conveyancing? Rothbury is where we plan to move to.
It would be wise to instruct a conveyancing practitioner now so that the solicitor can open the file so they can commence the ID checks etc. Once you wish them to start work you will be asked for a payment on account usually approximately £225. That would normally be once you have the mortgage offer and valuation back, but if you wish to expedite the process you can start quicker albeit risking some money.
