I plan on buying residence in Burnley. My property lawyer has never been on on the bank approved panel. Am I still permitted to appoint my Burnley conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank list of approved lawyers?
One must instruct a property lawyer to complete the legal work required when you take out a loan to purchase your property. They will carry out all the necessary due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You could appoint a Burnley property lawyer of your choice. However, where the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not on the mortgage company approved list additional charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not previously applied for membership they can do so.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Burnley is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Burnley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Burnley you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Burnley 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 property.
