Our Brixworth conveyancer has uncovered a discrepancy between the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer has advised that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
My Conveyancer in Brixworth has never been on on the The Royal Bank of Scotland Approved Panel. Can I still continue with my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the The Royal Bank of Scotland panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:

- Choose a new solicitor to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are Persuade your lawyer to do everything within their powers to join the The Royal Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Brixworth is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Brixworth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Brixworth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brixworth 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 premises.
Given that I am about to part with £400,000 on a terraced house in Brixworth I wish to have a conversation with the lawyer about mytransaction in advance of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

Me and my husband are disposing of a Brixworth apartment we inherited six years ago in 2010. I have over 12 years conveyancing know-how and, although retired, wish to conduct my own conveyancing. The purchaser's solicitor has informed me that their Lenders will not allow you to do your own conveyancing requiring the funds to be sent to a solicitor's bank account.
Lending instructions to solicitors from all CML members specify that If the vendor is not legally represented the purchaser’s lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be informed so that a decision can be reached if they are willing to progress.
