My financial adviser has requested my Parkstone solicitor’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have called my local Parkstone office but they have not responded to me.

I am assisting my sister sell her property in Parkstone. Does the conveyancing solicitor order the energy assessment or should I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s became a required part of moving house. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand prior to the property being placed on the market. This is not a task that lawyers normally organise. If you are using a Parkstone conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established local accredited person
Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Parkstone. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?
Now that you are legally bound yourself to purchase you must choose a conveyancing solicitor soon as you are faced with a tight deadline in which to complete the deal. All auction property will have a bespoke auction pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the legal pack may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to a leasehold property. You should pass this on to the conveyancer working for you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
is it true that all Parkstone solicitor firms on the Santander conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Santander conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be regulated by the CLC.
I'm buying my first flat in Parkstone with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it will adversely affect my loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Parkstone is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Parkstone are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Parkstone you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Parkstone 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 premises.
