Me and my fiance are purchasing a 2 bedroom apartment in Cheshunt with a mortgage. We like our Cheshunt lawyer, but the lender says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no option but to select one of the bank panel firms or keep our Cheshunt conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Cheshunt conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Cheshunt is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Cheshunt are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Cheshunt you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cheshunt 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 property.
