My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Clitheroe. I I am struggling to find out if they are on the Lloyds TSB Bank conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

You should phone your lawyer and ask them if they can act for the lender. Otherwise you should get in touch with Lloyds TSB Bank who may be able to confirm.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Clitheroe 10 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be recorded by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Clitheroe ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to grant a loan on this type of property.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Clitheroe

We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Clitheroe conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by senior management.
