I am one month into the sale of my ground floor flat in Cheddleton and the estate agent has just text me to say that the buyers are switching law firm. The reason given is that the bank will only engage with property lawyers on their approved list. Why would a big named lender only work with specific solicitors rather the firm that they want to choose for their conveyancing in Cheddleton ?
Lenders have always had panels of law firms that can represent them, but in the last few years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for decades.
Lenders point to the increase in fraud as the reason for the pruning – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. Banks tend not to disclose how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society says it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms are unaware that they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. The purchasers are unlikely to have any impact on this.

I am being told by my solicitor that chancel insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Cheddleton?
The appropriate level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
Clydesdale have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Cheddleton has been accepted, now what?
Your property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Clydesdale or your financial adviser and complete any relevant documentation. Clydesdale will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to arrange a time for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to receive the mortgage offer. Clydesdale will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Cheddleton.

My folks are encountering problems in finding their Cheddleton land registry title on the website. They recall that 50 years ago when they purchased the house there were complications with the post code not being identified on some systems.
Nearly all premises in Cheddleton should show up. Have you attempted a search to just the postcode. Ordinarily it should mention all the residences inside that postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will be there with a title number. If they bought 48 years ago it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title documentation which might be with your parent’s lender.
