Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Coalville is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack 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. Where you are concerned you should contact the Coalville conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

We had selected solicitors with offices in Coalville on the HSBC solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate charge for the legal aspects of the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by HSBC?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by HSBC but by your Coalville property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the HSBC panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
Can I be sure that the Coalville conveyancing solicitor on the Clydesdale panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Coalville obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your transaction.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Coalville building society branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Coalville conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the lawyer is on the bank approved list, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

How does conveyancing in Coalville differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Coalville come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Coalville tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Coalville or who has acted in the same development.
