What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Oxfordshire

Two types of professional can do conveyancing in Oxfordshire namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors.

They are both required to perform Oxfordshire conveyancing on similar quality and guidelines so you can be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be professionally administered and that all requirements and steps should be accurately followed.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by RBS. Is it usual for RBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Oxfordshire is approved on their conveyancing panel? RBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Nottingham have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a property in Oxfordshire has been accepted, what are the next steps?

The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancers are on the lender’s panel). Contact Nottingham or your financial adviser and finalise any outstanding documentation. Nottingham will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to receive the mortgage offer. Nottingham will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners.

I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require this when acquiring a residence in Oxfordshire? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that means some owners of property residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards maintenance to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Oxfordshire?

Unless a prior purchase of the premises took place after 12 October 2013 you can assume that lawyers delivering conveyancing in Oxfordshire to remain recommending a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Oxfordshire is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Oxfordshire are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Oxfordshire 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 Oxfordshire may decide 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.
