I have just been advised by my financial adviser that my St Mary Cray solicitor is not on the bank Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure that this is correct?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to contact your St Mary Cray lawyer directly. You lawyer should inform you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
When will exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in St Mary Cray and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in St Mary Cray you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not the important part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in St Mary Cray)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I'm purchasing my first flat in St Mary Cray benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. St Mary Cray is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in St Mary Cray are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in St Mary Cray 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 St Mary Cray 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.
