Can the conveyancing lawyers listed on your site handle auction conveyancing in Islington?
There are a few auction practitioners we can connect you with those specialising in auction conveyancing. Islington is one of the many locations in which our lawyers are based.
We are hoping to buy a newbuild flat in Islington with a residential mortgage from Skipton Building Society.We have a Islington conveyancing practitioner but Skipton Building Society informed us his firm is not listed on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Skipton Building Society approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Skipton Building Society

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Islington is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Islington are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Islington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Islington 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 property.

We are one month into a freehold purchase having been referred to solicitors by the local agent to execute conveyancing in Islington. I am not happy. Could you help me find new lawyers?
A solicitor would need to be really bad to suggest changing them. Has the mortgage been generated? In the event that it has you must advise them of the new lawyer and have the loan are re-issued. Your conveyancer needs to be on the lenders panel to avoid added fees and delays. That should be your starting point.
