Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cowley

Me and my fiance are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Cowley with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Cowley solicitor, but the bank says she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little option but to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or retain our Cowley conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. This feels very unfair; can we not insist that the bank use our Cowley property lawyer ?

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 Cowley conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

My grandfather passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Cowley. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £8000. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Clydesdale, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?

Given you intend to re-mortgage then Clydesdale will insist on your using a conveyancer on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Cowley is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Cowley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Cowley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cowley 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 premises.
