Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the Aldermore Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Woolavington?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
What will a local search reveal about the house my wife and I buying in Woolavington?

How does conveyancing in Woolavington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Woolavington approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Woolavington tend to purchase 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 Woolavington or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Woolavington is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Woolavington are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Woolavington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Woolavington 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 property.

I want to sublet my leasehold flat in Woolavington. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Some leases for properties in Woolavington do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

The best form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this scenario the lessees enjoy being in charge if their destiny and although a managing agent is usually employed where the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. How is the lease structured? This question is useful as a) areas can cause problems for the building as the communal areas may start to deteriorate if repairs remain unpaid b) if the tenants have a dispute with the running of the building you will want to know about it
