I have just been advised by my broker that my Camborne lawyer is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be certain if this is indeed the case?

The first thing you need to do is to call your Camborne lawyer directly. You lawyer should notify you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Camborne conveyancing firm that is on the conveyancing panel for your lender.

Just acquired a detached house in Camborne , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Camborne conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Camborne registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the new owner is living at the property thus 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Camborne is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Camborne are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Camborne 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 Camborne 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 property.

Back In 2006, I bought a leasehold flat in Camborne. Conveyancing and mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Camborne who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Camborne conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I'm purchasing a property in Camborne. I have found my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't locate my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?

Not all staff in the company must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
