I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Leeds Building Society. Is it usual for Leeds Building Society to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Sidmouth is approved on their conveyancing panel? Leeds Building Society have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel.

Having digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Sidmouth solicitor - who is on the TSB conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

TSB will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually TSB 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Sidmouth surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Sidmouth ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders tend not issue a mortgage on this type of home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Halifax. If you contact us we can look into this further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Sidmouth. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Sidmouth especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Sidmouth.

We are 3 weeks into a leasehold purchase having been recommend to a firm by the high street agent to carry out the conveyancing in Sidmouth. I am not happy. Could you help me find new lawyers?

They would have to be very bad in order to consider diss instructing them. Has the mortgage been sent? If so you will need to inform them of the replacement lawyer and have the loan are re-sent. The solicitor ideally needs to be on the lenders approved list to avoid supplemental fees and complications. So that should be your first question of the new solicitors.
