Me and my wife are acquiring a maisonette in Yaxley. My Solicitor has never been on on the lender approved panel. Is it possible for me to retain my Yaxley conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender approved list?
One will need to have a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the legal work required if you need a mortgage to buy your property. They will carry out all the necessary investigations on the property, make sure that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in place. One may instruct a Yaxley solicitor of your choice. However, where the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the mortgage company conveyancing panel supplemental charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not previously applied for membership they should do so.

My wife and I purchased a semi-detached Edwardian house in Yaxley. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Yaxley and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
How does conveyancing in Yaxley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Yaxley approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Yaxley tend to buy the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Yaxley or who has acted in the same development.
