We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Burton Joyce. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £175. A couple of days later, the lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Virgin Money panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Principality have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Burton Joyce has been agreed to, now what?
Your property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Principality or the financial adviser and complete any relevant paperwork. Principality will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Principality will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Burton Joyce.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Burton Joyce 4 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we use their recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Burton Joyce
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Burton Joyce conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Burton Joyce with the intention of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Burton Joyce can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should ensure that you have the original share document. Organising a re-issued share certificate can be a lengthy formality and delays many a Burton Joyce conveyancing transaction. If a new share certificate is required, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this sooner rather than later. A minority of Burton Joyce leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Burton Joyce leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such changes. Should you fail to have the paperwork to hand do not contact the landlord without contacting your conveyancer before hand. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is a current dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over as opposed to ongoing.
