We previously selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Watton on the Lloyds solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate charge for dealing with the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Lloyds?

I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Watton bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Watton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the property lawyer is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Watton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Watton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Watton 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 Watton 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 property.
