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

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

My offer on a house in Wandsworth has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Wandsworth. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Wandsworth conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the Nottingham approved list. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their solicitor to proceed with searches.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Wandsworth 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know precisely where to look for all the appropriate documentation so you can buy or dispose of your property without any difficulty. If duplicates are not available, your solicitor may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the property.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Wandsworth is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?

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

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Wandsworth. I've land on a web site which appears to be the perfect offering If there is a chance to get all the legals completed via web that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
