I am not well enough to travel far from Gainsborough. Please explain the reason why all Gainsborough conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?
A decade ago most banks had an approach to risk which is different than today. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 instigated a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the property lawyers on your panel. Consequently, mortgage companies have subsequently soughtmore information from law firms regarding their processes and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Thousands of firms have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible meet the criteria of volume of transactions the mortgage companies set.
My bank has suggested a law firm on their panel based in Gainsborough but I would rather instruct a conveyancing lawyer in Gainsborough round the corner to me. Are you able to assist?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Gainsborough is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Gainsborough 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 Gainsborough 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.
