we are a couple who are hoping to buy a newbuild flat in Admaston with a homeloan from The Royal Bank of Scotland.We like our Admaston conveyancing solicitor but The Royal Bank of Scotland says her practice is not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that The Royal Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the The Royal Bank of Scotland approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Admaston completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Admaston is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Admaston are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Admaston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Admaston 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 premises.
I have been pointed in your direction by a number of property agents in Admaston to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your site over and above a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I own a leasehold house in Admaston. Conveyancing and Halifax mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing solicitor in Admaston who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Admaston conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
