I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years old) in Valley. The vast majority the properties are already occupied. Is it really necessary to order neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Valley?
If you getting a loan, your lender will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Valley conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Valley.
My lawyer in Valley is not listed on the The Royal Bank of Scotland Conveyancing Panel. Can I still use my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the The Royal Bank of Scotland panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Valley solicitors but The Royal Bank of Scotland will need to use a solicitor on their panel. This will result in additional total legal charges and cause frustration.
- Find an alternative lawyer to to deal with the purchase, not forgetting to check they are on the The Royal Bank of Scotland panel

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Valley is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Valley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Valley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Valley may ascertain 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.
