Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can charge a fee for this.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Woolacombe. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Shortly after, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Woolacombe is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Woolacombe are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Woolacombe 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 Woolacombe 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.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Woolacombe

It is improbable the owners are driving this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Woolacombe conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.

We have instructed a Woolacombe conveyancing solicitor for our home move (FTB’s) and have spotted in the engagement letter that they are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Am I right to be worried or is that the norm with property lawyer?

We can't see why they should be. Most lawyer don't lend money. They should be governed by the SRA, who set stringent obligations in place on monies sitting in their bank.
