Are the Caterham conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Skipton conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Skipton?

Caterham conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Skipton directly.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Caterham is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Caterham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Caterham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Caterham 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 17 days into a freehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the high street agent to handle our conveyancing in Caterham. I am not happy. Could you help me find new lawyers?

A solicitor would need to be really bad in order to consider replacing them. Has the loan offer been generated? If so you need to advise them of the new contact details and have the offer are re-sent. Your new conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental expenses and complications. That should be your starting point.
