Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from South Tottenham. Is there a reason why all South Tottenham property lawyers are not on all lender panels?
Mortgage Companies tend to restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that the practice needs to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some building societies made a decision to restrict the number of conveyancers they allow to act for them. You should note that banks have no accountability for the accuracy of advice supplied by any South Tottenham property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the main trigger for the reduction of solicitor panels from 2008 notwithstanding that there are opposing points of view concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics via the Land Registry exposes that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms deserve claim to be listed on a conveyancing panel when clearly property law is not their primary expertise?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. South Tottenham is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in South Tottenham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside South Tottenham 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 South Tottenham 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.
