I was notified recently by my mortgage broker that my Brewood solicitor is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. What can I do to check?

Your first step should be to contact your Brewood lawyer directly. You lawyer should notify you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.

I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented flat in Brewood by 23/4/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Can I complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

The normal practice is not to give notice on a rental until exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, notify to your solicitor and urge them to they seek the assistance the owners side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will work to achieve

We are looking to buy a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Brewood who is on the Santander solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Santander . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Brewood.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Brewood is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?

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

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?

Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the lender solicitor panel.
