I have just been advised by my IFA that my Woodbridge property lawyer is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I check?
The best course of action for you to take is to call your Woodbridge conveyancer. You lawyer should inform you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
We are a couple about to sign contracts for a leasehold flat in Woodbridge. We encountered a problem. The mortgage offer with Nottingham Building Society expires on 8/1/2026 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 12/1/2026. Can one extend the loan expiry date?
The best person to address this issue is your conveyancer who will hopefully calculate whether he or she is better off negotiating with the mortgage company, seller’s conveyancers, estate agents or indeed all parties given what has happend in your transaction as of today.
We are looking to buy a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Woodbridge who is on the Principality solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Principality . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Woodbridge.
I am aiming to move property in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Woodbridge. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your estate agent but this can only happen when the sellers lawyers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. You will need to inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Woodbridge or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Woodbridge.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Woodbridge on 15/9/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Barclays and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Are Barclays entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
UBS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Woodbridge has been agreed to, what happens next?
The property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Call up UBS or your financial adviser and finalise any relevant paperwork. UBS will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to receive the mortgage offer. UBS 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 Woodbridge.

I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Woodbridge. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just had a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the maintenance contribution as normal given that all rents and service invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
