In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, but Leeds Building Society would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

I am buying a new build house in Shrewsbury with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my solicitor about the deal as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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%.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Shrewsbury is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?

Flying freeholds in Shrewsbury are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Shrewsbury you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shrewsbury 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.

As co-executor for the estate of my father I am selling a property in Neath but I am based in Shrewsbury. My lawyer (who is 250 miles awayhas requested that I sign a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Shrewsbury who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?

Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Shrewsbury based
