My husband and I are buying a 1 bedroom flat in Goring with a mortgage. We like our Goring solicitor, however the lender says he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have no option but to instruct one of the lender panel firms or retain our Goring conveyancer and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We regard this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’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. Another option that might be available is for your Goring conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Lock out agreements are contracts between a home seller and prospective acquirer granting the buyer exclusive rights to purchase the premises for a limited period of time.

It is generally used for buyer protection though in many situations, the seller may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are many pros and cons to using them but you should to check with your conveyancer but beware that it may end up costing you more in conveyancing charges. In light of this these agreements are unusual when it comes to conveyancing in Goring.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Goring is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?

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

I am intending to let out my leasehold apartment in Goring. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?

The lease governs the relationship between the landlord and you the flat owner; specifically, it will set out if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Goring do not prevent subletting altogether – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the property. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.
