My fiance and I are purchasing a newbuild flat in Beadnell with a loan from HSBC Bank.We like our Beadnell conveyancing practitioner but HSBC Bank advised that she’s not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a HSBC Bank panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for a HSBC Bank panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers needs to be on the HSBC Bank approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for HSBC Bank

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Beadnell is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Beadnell are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Beadnell 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 Beadnell 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.

One could suggest that there exists a distinct edge when selecting a conveyancer local to a premises you are buying, due to the familiarity of the locality and possible local issues - but this is debatable. Most conveyancers conduct their communications over the web and may be practically anywhere.
