We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Pencader for our house move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company Bank of Scotland won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
Pre- 2008 most mortgage companies had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Pencader conveyancing firms would have been on most bank panels. The FSA in 2010 completed a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies are increasingly seeing more data from law firms about their operations and the individuals who work for them as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of conveyancing. Many Pencader conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Pencader is amongst the thousands of locations where the lawyers we list are members of the panel for Bank of Scotland.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Pencader is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Pencader are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Pencader you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Pencader 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.
I was recommended by two or three local selling agents in Pencader to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your services rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
At long last our conveyancing in Pencader is set to complete on Friday, however the sellers I am purchasing from wants to move out 24 hours later at midday. Should I agree to this?
