I am acquiring a leasehold flat in Cawthorne. My Solicitor is not listed on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Is it possible for me to use my Cawthorne conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You will need to appoint a solicitor to deal with the formalities if you require a mortgage to purchase your property. The conveyancer will conduct all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One may select a Cawthorne conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. However, where the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not a member of the lender approved list additional fees will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not historically sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

Will my conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Cawthorne.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Cawthorne. Some people will buy a property in Cawthorne, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their conveyancers which can figure out the risks in Cawthorne. The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual inquiry of the owner to find out whether the premises has historically flooded. If the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a compensation claim stemming from an misleading response. The purchaser’s solicitors should also order an enviro report. This will higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be made.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Cawthorne is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Cawthorne are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cawthorne you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cawthorne 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 property.
