Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Warkworth conveyancing practitioners have been appointed. How long does it take for Coventry BS to forward the offer to the conveyancer?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Coventry BS conducted the valuation? Have you informed Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

We expect to receive a DIP from UBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Warkworth solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Warkworth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.

I own a semi-detached Victorian house in Warkworth. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Skipton Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Warkworth 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 buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Warkworth in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor has said that some banks tend not grant a loan on a flying freehold property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Warkworth. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Warkworth to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
