Please could you suggest a Clydesdale sanctioned Whissendine conveyancing lawyer who can have us moved in within a very limited time frame? Am I best advised to choose a local Whissendine practice or a national conveyancer?
We would be happy to suggest some excellent Whissendine conveyancing firms. Another option is to visit the high street in Whissendine. Visit two or three law practices and ask to see a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Discuss your time frames together with your reasons and get an assurance on your deadline. Choose the one that appears most efficient.
What happens if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Skipton Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Whissendine?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
Can you point me to a directory of Nationwide panel conveyancers in Whissendine on the Building Society Association’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings open the public on the web. If you are seeking to appoint a Whissendine lawyer on the Nationwide please make the most of our tool.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Whissendine. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender RBS be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to RBS where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Whissendine.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Santander are being problematic. The Whissendine solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Santander are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
My friend advised me that where I am purchasing in Whissendine I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Whissendine is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Whissendine are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Whissendine you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Whissendine 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 premises.
There are a lot of houses in Whissendine on unadopted lanes. I am acquiring such a house. Are there any benefits to purchasing a house on a private road?
Whissendine conveyancing lawyers will be used to dealing homeson private. Your conveyancer will investigate title to find any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that proprietors pay into to maintain the road. If there is one, the road will likely be maintained and look better than council maintained.
