Me and my partner are buying a house in Westbury Park. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to put funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as RBS, do Westbury Park conveyancing practitioners face a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
We had selected conveyancers locally in Westbury Park on the Skipton solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate charge for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Skipton?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer may levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Skipton but by your Westbury Park conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Skipton panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Westbury Park is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Westbury Park are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Westbury Park 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 Westbury Park 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.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Westbury Park. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Westbury Park - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
