I am buying property in Grangetown. My lawyer is not listed on the bank approved list. Can I still continue with my Grangetown conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank panel?
You must use a property lawyer to deal with the formalities when you take out a loan to buy your home. They will conduct all the necessary legal checks on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One could appoint a Grangetown conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. However, if the conveyancer selected is not a member of the bank approved list further charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not historically applied for membership they should do so.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Grangetown is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Grangetown are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Grangetown you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Grangetown 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 residence.
