I am thinking of mortgaging my apartment in Rothwell, does my lawyer have to be on the Principality Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Principality conveyancing panel, but Principality would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
We are purchasing a terrace house in Rothwell. We would like to an extension at the rear at the property.Will legal conveyancing on the property involve investigations to determine if these works are permitted?
Your property lawyer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Rothwell can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain changes or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Some extensions need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Can I be sure that the Rothwell conveyancing solicitor on the Coventry BS panel is any good?

We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, UBS are being problematic. The Rothwell solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I am buying my first flat in Rothwell benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Rothwell is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rothwell 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 premises.
