I am purchasing a ground floor flat in Dingle. My Solicitor has never been on on the mortgage company approved panel. Am I still permitted to continue with my Dingle conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender approved list?
You will need to instruct a conveyancer to deal with the formalities when you take out a mortgage to purchase your property. They will carry out all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. One can appoint a Dingle conveyancer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the lawyer appointed is not a member of the lender approved list further charges will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your lawyer has not historically sought membership they can do so.
I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my rented flat in Dingle by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Can I complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?

I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Dingle agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Dingle. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with RBS started?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Dingle conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of buyers will apply for a home loan with RBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to move forward with searches.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Dingle is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Dingle are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Dingle you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dingle 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 residence.
