My Solicitor in West Drayton is not on the Chelsea Building Society Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Chelsea Building Society panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

- Find a new practitioner to act in the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are on the Chelsea Building Society panel
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. West Drayton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in West Drayton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside West Drayton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in West Drayton 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.

We are in the middle of buying a house in West Drayton. Conveyancing solicitor has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Will this likely adversely affect the salability of the house?
West Drayton conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a nominal rent, it's essentially freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the value significantly.
On the flip side, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a significant impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be stated in the lease to be supplied to your conveyancing practitioner.
