My partner and I are intent on acquiring a maisonette in Rossington. My Solicitor has never been on on the lender approved list. Is it possible for me to appoint my Rossington conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank list of approved lawyers?
You must have a solicitor to deal with the legal work required when you take out a loan to purchase your home. The property lawyer will carry out all the appropriate investigations on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One may instruct a Rossington conveyancing practitioner of your choice. However, if the property lawyer selected is not on the mortgage company approved list further costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not in the past sought membership they can do so.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Rossington. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancer. I paid an on account payment of £225. A couple of days later, the conveyancer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Bank of Ireland panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Rossington solicitor - who is on the RBS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Rossington postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Rossington.
Our sealed bid on a house in Rossington has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Rossington. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Clydesdale going?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Rossington conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Rossington.

Me and my brother own a terraced Victorian house in Rossington. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Chelsea Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Rossington and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
