I was notified recently by my lender that my Leicestershire lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I check?
The first thing you need to do is to call your Leicestershire conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Leicestershire conveyancing firm that is on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
I am purchasing a property for cash in Leicestershire. I have lived for the previous dozen years in Leicestershire. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Leicestershire conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. One thing to consider; if you are likely to dispose of the house at a future date, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches determine. Sometimes properties with apparent issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Leicestershire will be able to give you some helpful advice in this regard.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Leicestershire. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Nottingham Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?

I've recently found out 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. Leicestershire is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Leicestershire are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Leicestershire you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Leicestershire 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 residence.
Is it simple use the search app to get a quote from a conveyancing practitioner in Leicestershire on the panel for my bank?
