I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Skelmersdale is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Skelmersdale are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Skelmersdale you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Skelmersdale 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 property.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Skelmersdale

We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Skelmersdale conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.

Me and my partner are hoping to buy a three room first floor flatin Skelmersdale with a mortgage from a bank. We would like to retain our conveyancer in Skelmersdale but our mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our bank panel solicitors or stay with our Skelmersdale conveyancer and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The bank mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender's conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Skelmersdale : 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
