Are the Camberley conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Co-operative?
Camberley conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Co-operative directly.
Me and my partner are buying a property in Camberley. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we have to put our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

I'm the single beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Camberley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. Most lenders would take a practical view as this requirement chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
How can we know in advance if a Camberley conveyancing solicitor on the Santander panel is any good?

Should our lawyer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Camberley.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Camberley. There are those who purchase a property in Camberley, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which can figure out the risks in Camberley. The standard completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard question of the vendor to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading answer. The buyer’s conveyancers may also conduct an environmental report. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be made.
I purchased my flat on 10 November and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Camberley said it should be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Camberley uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Camberley registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not usually top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Camberley is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Camberley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Camberley 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 Camberley 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.
