Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bridgnorth

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Bridgnorth is not listed on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?

That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Bridgnorth conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Bridgnorth. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Not long after, the conveyancer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Bank of Ireland panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Bridgnorth - Examples of Questions you should ask Prior to Purchasing

    Is the freehold owned collectively by the leaseholders? If a Bridgnorth lease has no more than 80 years it will impact the marketability of the property. Check with your bank that they are content with remaining years on the lease.
