I am in the process of remortgaging my home in Willen, does my lawyer have to be on the Lloyds Solicitor panel?

It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Willen is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Willen are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Willen you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Willen 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 property.
