Please help. My Brook Green solicitor is advising me that she is duty bound toapply for Brook Green conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. These Brook Green checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a mortgage company your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Brook Green conveyancing searches.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Brook Green last September but my buyer keeps SMS messaging every few hours to say her solicitor is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What should have happened now that I have sold?

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. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
I am 18 days into a freehold purchase having been recommend to solicitors by the estate agent to carry out the conveyancing in Brook Green. We are not happy. Can you help me find new conveyancers?
They would need to be very bad in order to consider replacing them. Has your loan offer been issued? If so you need to advise them of the new conveyancer and have the loan are re-sent. Your new solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental expenses and complications. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

We have appointed a Brook Green conveyancing solicitor for our home move (novice purchasers) and have noticed in the Ts and Cs that they are not overseen by the FCA. Need I be concerned or is that standard with lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancer don't lend money. You should check that they are governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who set stringent rules in relation to funds deposited in their bank.
