Are the Barkingside conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the HSBC conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by HSBC?
Barkingside conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from HSBC directly.
Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Barkingside so that I can attend their offices when needed.
Most conveyancing panel lawyers for lenders conduct all of the work via Royal Mail, e-mail or over phone calls. This enables them to carry out the legal work for your home move regardless of where you live in the country. However you should check if you have the option of attending the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if you prefer.
Is there a list of Aldermore panel solicitors in Barkingside on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of mortgage companies make their panel listings viewable online. Where you are looking for a Barkingside conveyancing practitioner on the Aldermore please make the most of our facility.
We previously chose conveyancers with offices in Barkingside on the RBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further sum for handling the RBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by RBS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by RBS but by your Barkingside lawyer. Plenty of firms on the RBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Barkingside conveyancing practitioners were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Aldermore?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Aldermore done the valuation? Have you advised Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am buying my first flat in Barkingside with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it could adversely affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Am I best advised to appoint a Barkingside conveyancing solicitor based in the location that I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal formalities however they are based a couple of hundredkilometers away.
The benefit of a local Barkingside conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute documents, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were content that must outweigh using an unknown Barkingside conveyancing lawyer just because they are Barkingside based.
