My mortgage broker has requested my Burnley solicitor’s panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have e-mailed my local Burnley branch but they don't know it.

Have you tried calling your Burnley about this?. They retain a central record lender panel numbers.

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is removed from the Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Burnley?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Burnley?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Burnley. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Burnley is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Burnley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Burnley you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Burnley may decide 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.
