My IFA has asked me for my Becontree solicitor’s panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have called my local Becontree office but they don't know it.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Becontree conveyancer . They should have a central record lender panel numbers.
When researching moneysavingexpert.com for a recommended solicitor in Becontree, most comment that I should look for a CQS kitemarked solicitor. Can you explain what CQS is?
The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised quality mark for legal experts in buying or selling property, trusted by some of the UK's leading lenders. Four years ago the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML). CQS is not a scheme offered by the Council of Licensed Conveyancing. Becontree is one of the many areas in England and Wales where there are CQS lawyers.
I am aiming to move house in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Becontree. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your estate agent however this should only take place when the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Becontree or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Becontree.
Is it the case that all Becontree solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be regulated by the CLC.
We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Lloyds as we want to conduct improvements to our property in Becontree. Do we need to choose a bricks and mortar Becontree solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Lloyds would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
