We are purchasing a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Goodrich who is on the Co-operative approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Co-operative . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Goodrich.

I am thinking of refinancing my flat in Goodrich, does my lawyer need to be on the Clydesdale Conveyancing panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, but Clydesdale would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

Does a directory service exist listing Kent Reliance panel solicitors in Goodrich on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings viewable online. If you are seeking to appoint a Goodrich solicitor on the Kent Reliance please make the most of our facility.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Goodrich solicitor having checked that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Goodrich surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Goodrich accepted, the vendors do however have a dependent purchase. The vendors have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Goodrich. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Goodrich conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with searches.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Goodrich is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Goodrich are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Goodrich you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Goodrich may determine 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 residence.

I was pointed in your direction by a few estate agents in Goodrich to select a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers rather than another?

We don’t make any referral fee for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
