We are buying a newbuild apartment in Rainham Kent with a loan from National Westminster Bank.We have a Rainham Kent conveyancing lawyer but National Westminster Bank advised that she’s not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a National Westminster Bank panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that National Westminster Bank use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the National Westminster Bank approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for National Westminster Bank

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Rainham Kent is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Rainham Kent are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rainham Kent 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 premises.

I was recommended by numerous property agents in Rainham Kent to select a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your services rather than another?

We don’t give any financial incentive for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
