My mortgage broker has requested my Canford Cliffs law firm’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have tried my local Canford Cliffs office but they cant find it on their system.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Canford Cliffs. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Canford Cliffs?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
We previously chose conveyancers located in Canford Cliffs on the Barclays solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further fee for handling the Barclays mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Barclays?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Barclays but by your Canford Cliffs solicitor. Numerous firms on the Barclays panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Canford Cliffs accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Canford Cliffs. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS started?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Canford Cliffs conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Concerning the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers will apply for a home loan with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to press on with searches.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Canford Cliffs is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Canford Cliffs are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Canford Cliffs you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Canford Cliffs may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
