My mortgage broker has asked me for my Immingham lawyer’ panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have tried my local Immingham branch but they don't know it.

I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Immingham bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Immingham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancing practitioner must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Immingham is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Immingham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully.

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.
