Is it the case that all Chorley and Eccleston solicitor firms on the Barclays conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be regulated by the CLC.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Chorley and Eccleston conveyancing practitioners are instructed. How long does it take for Leeds Building Society to forward the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Leeds Building Society completed the survey? Have you advised Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I have paid off my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Chorley and Eccleston property lawyer on the Nottingham panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Nottingham mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nottingham mortgage from the register. Nottingham, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nottingham has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nottingham has instructed the Land Registry to do so
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Chorley and Eccleston and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Chorley and Eccleston conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Chorley and Eccleston. Having lived in Chorley and Eccleston for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I am buying my first flat in Chorley and Eccleston with a loan from Birmingham Midshires. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it would impact my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that seems to be perfect, at a reasonable price which is making it all the more appealing.
