I was notified today by my lender that my Biddenham the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to be certain that this is indeed the case?
Your first step should be to contact your Biddenham conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
We are looking to buy a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Biddenham who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?

My apartment in Biddenham is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will my conveyancing practitioner need to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently in recent years.
I have todaydiscovered that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Biddenham for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Biddenham conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Biddenham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Biddenham contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Biddenham tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Biddenham or who has acted in the same development.
