We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would much rather use a local conveyancing solicitor in Carlton?
Do check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel lawyers if you accept the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the bank and explore if they offer you a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Carlton.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Carlton in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not issue a loan on this type of premises.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can investigate further with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Carlton. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Carlton to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Carlton
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Carlton conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by HQ.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Carlton. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Carlton - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
Leasehold Conveyancing in Carlton - A selection of Questions you should consider before Purchasing
-
What is the the remaining lease term? The best form of lease arrangement is where the freehold title is owned by the leaseholders. In this situation the lessees enjoy control and even though a managing agent is frequently employed where the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. How is the lease structured?
Should one as executor remove a departed person's name from the title register for a property in Carlton?
If a Carlton property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to amend the title as when it comes to a sale your conveyancer would just be required to evidence why the other owner is missing from the conveyance, such as the probate documents.
With the aim of making things smoother in the future you can arrange to have the deceased person removed from the title entries by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
