Is the fact that my solicitor in Armthorpe is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?
That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Armthorpe conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
When can the exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Armthorpe and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Armthorpe you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Armthorpe)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Armthorpe is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Armthorpe 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 Armthorpe 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 Armthorpe 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.

I am one month into a freehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the estate agent to handle our conveyancing in Armthorpe. We are not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new lawyers?

In the event that it has you will need to inform them of the replacement solicitor and have the offer are issued to the new lawyers.
