I am selling my house in Wimborne. Will the lawyer have to be required to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Clydesdale 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 panel criteria fairly frequently currently.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Wimborne. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Wimborne?

On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Wimborne. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

My uncle pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Wimborne there could be a number of restrictions limiting what one can do in terms of external alterations to a property. Is this right?

There are a number of properties in Wimborne which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Wimborne should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

We expect to receive a DIP from UBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Wimborne solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Wimborne solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.

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

Flying freeholds in Wimborne are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wimborne 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 Wimborne 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 property.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Wimborne. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Wimborne - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
