Is it the case that all Weldon solicitor practices on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. The majority of mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We expect to receive a DIP from HSBC this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do HSBC recommend any Weldon solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Weldon solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the HSBC conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and HSBC through the process.

How does conveyancing in Weldon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Weldon approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Weldon tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Weldon or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Weldon is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Weldon are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Weldon 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 Weldon 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.
I am a couple of weeks into a freehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the high street agent to execute conveyancing in Weldon. We are not happy. Can you help me find new solicitors?
They would have to be very poor to suggest replacing them. Has the mortgage been generated? If so you will need to advise them of the replacement lawyer and have the offer are re-sent. The conveyancer needs to be on the banks approved list to avoid added fees and frustration. That should be your starting point.
