Is the fact that my solicitor in Oakdale is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Oakdale conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
How up to date is your search tool for Oakdale conveyancing solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel? Do RBS send you an updated list?

My lawyer has informed me that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Oakdale conveyancing?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Oakdale on 31/5/2024, valuation was booked five days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Aldermore and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Oakdale accepted, the owners do however have a dependent purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Oakdale. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with RBS?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Oakdale conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many purchasers will apply for a home loan with RBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Oakdale.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Oakdale is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Oakdale are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Oakdale you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Oakdale 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.
