We previously instructed conveyancers with offices in Wollaton on the Co-operative solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional fee for the legal aspects of the Co-operative mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Co-operative?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer can levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Co-operative but by your Wollaton conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Co-operative panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

Can I be sure that the Wollaton conveyancing solicitor on the Co-operative panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Wollaton obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer handling your transaction.

I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Wollaton building society branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Wollaton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the solicitor is on the mortgage company approved list, they must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Wollaton is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Wollaton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wollaton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wollaton 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.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Wollaton

It is unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Wollaton conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.

I have read on various consumer advice websites that when choosing a conveyancing lawyer they must be approved by your bank. I am new to the process but I have an AIP via HSBC and I already have a local conveyancing solicitor in Wollaton at the ready. Does Halifax need an approved conveyancer to be selected? Does a list of panel conveyancers even exist so I can choose a conveyancing lawyer in Wollaton?

You need to use a solicitor that is on the Halifax panel. The simplest thing to do is telephone your chosen Wollaton conveyancing lawyer to check if they are on the Halifax panel. If they are not approved you have a number of choices open to you here:

• Proceed with your preferred Wollaton solicitor but Halifax will need to appoint a lawyer on their conveyancing panel. The net impact is additional cost and probable interruption.
• Choose a new solicitor to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the Halifax conveyancing panel.
• Convince your lawyer to pull out all the stops to join the Halifax conveyancing panel.
