My house in Hurworth is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will my solicitor need to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently in recent years.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Hurworth is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Hurworth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hurworth you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Hurworth 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 premises.

My dad completed his conveyancing in Hurworth 7 years ago. He has since got wed, widowed and is now remarried. He now intends to dispose of the Hurworth property. I suspect that he will just be requested to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the conveyancer however he is worried it could frustrate the conveyancing. Is it worth updating the title details for the house?

The is no need to bring up to date the register as long as you have the proof needed to demonstrate how the name change resulted.

Any buyer’s conveyancer should examine the land registry entries and need evidence to establish the name change e.g. marriage certificates.
