I have just been advised by my IFA that my Beccles solicitor is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure that this is correct?
You need to call your Beccles lawyer directly. You lawyer should advise 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 bank.

We expect to receive a DIP from Lloyds this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Beccles solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Beccles solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
Intending to buy a house in Beccles. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Beccles solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
Our sealed bid on a semi in Beccles has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Beccles. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Beccles conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Beccles.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Beccles
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

It would be wise to enquire if there are any onerous prohibitions in the lease. For example it is fairly common in Beccles leases that pets are not permitted in in a block in Beccles. If you love the apartmentin Beccles yet your dog can’t make the move with you then you will be presented with a hard choice. If a Beccles lease has less than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the value of the apartment. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are content with remaining years on the lease. A short lease means that you will probably require a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have owned the property for two years in order to be legally able to extend the lease.
