This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a garden flat in Rothwell. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Rothwell?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Rothwell. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
Can you help - my lawyer says that lack of planning permission insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Rothwell?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Contact Bank of Ireland or the broker and complete any outstanding paperwork.

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to get a mortgage offer. Bank of Ireland will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Rothwell.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Rothwell 5 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and secure up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Rothwell is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Rothwell are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rothwell you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender 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 residence.
My fiance and I are planning to purchase a three bedroom maisonettein Rothwell with a home loan from a bank. We have selected a lawyer in Rothwell however our mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our mortgage company panel firms or stay with our Rothwell conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Rothwell lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The bank mortgage issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Rothwell : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
