Some advice if I may. My Frant solicitor is informing me me that he has toapply for Frant conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyapproved lawyer panel. These Frant checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Frant conveyancing searches.
We hope to to buy with Darlington Building Society. We have called around locally but am struggling to find a Frant conveyancing firm on the Darlington Building Society panel. Could you assist?

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for obstruction in Frant conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Frant.
How does conveyancing in Frant differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Frant come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Frant tend to acquire 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 Frant or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Frant is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Frant 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 Frant you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Frant may determine 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.
Been reading online that Frant solicitors are more expensive than Frant conveyancers in Frant to use when purchasing a house. So is it better if I use a conveyancer or a solicitor if I am buying a house in Frant.
When it comes to conveyancing in Frant the costs are unlikely to vary dramatically depending on whether the legal expert is a licenced conveyancer or solicitor.
