When it comes to lenders such as Kent Reliance, do Birch and Middleton conveyancing practitioners have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
We previously chose conveyancing lawyers located in Birch and Middleton on the Co-operative solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental fee for handling the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Co-operative?

This charge is not dictated by Co-operative but by your Birch and Middleton conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Co-operative panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

You will need to appoint Birch and Middleton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.

Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Birch and Middleton is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Birch and Middleton 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 Birch and Middleton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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.
