Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Prudhoe. I would like to know the understand why all Prudhoe lawyers aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Lenders highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The dismissal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in mortgage companies purging a number of firms off their panel of approved conveyancers .
What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Prudhoe?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Prudhoe and elsewhere in Northumberland is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. For example, the vendor, property agent and on occasion your lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Prudhoe should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose role it is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a potential adversary may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Prudhoe is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
