Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Beaminster. Please explain the reason why all Beaminster property lawyers aren't included on all bank panels?
As unjust as it may appear for lenders to restrict who can represent them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s perspective, the other side of the coin is that lending institutions are increasingly anxious and consider it necessary to shield themselves against mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern banks have consolidated their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
We are planning to acquire a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Beaminster who is on the TSB approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

I'm the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Beaminster. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
Can you point me to a directory of Yorkshire BS panel solicitors in Beaminster on the Building Society Association’s Website?

My husband and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Barclays as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Beaminster. Do we need to choose a local Beaminster solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Barclays would not normally require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
We are buying a property and the conveyancer has mentioned Chancel Repair for which the house could be obligated to contribute to given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. He has recommended insurance. Is this strictly appropriate for conveyancing in Beaminster

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Beaminster?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Beaminster. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Beaminster
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Beaminster conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
