Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a online directory to to identify law firms on the Earl Shilton BS conveyancing panel for example in Cornhill On Tweed?
We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a tool.
There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Cornhill On Tweed but how do I know who I should use?
It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Cornhill On Tweed conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Lloyds. Cornhill On Tweed conveyancing lawyers are appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Lloyds?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Lloyds conducted the valuation? Have you advised Lloyds as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Principality have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a apartment in Cornhill On Tweed has been agreed to, now what?
The property agent will want to be advised as to your conveyancer's details (be sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Principality or your broker and finish off any outstanding documentation. Principality will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to book a time for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Principality 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 Cornhill On Tweed.

I'm buying a new build house in Cornhill On Tweed with a loan from Birmingham Midshires. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will affect my mortgage 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.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Cornhill On Tweed
It is improbable the vendors are behind this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Cornhill On Tweed conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets set by head office.
My wife and I have instructed a Cornhill On Tweed conveyancing solicitor for our home move (novice purchasers) and have noticed in the terms and conditions that they are not overseen by the Financial Conduct Authority. Should I be worried or is that usually the case with property lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancing practitioner don't lend money. You should check that they are governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who dictate specific obligations in place on amounts deposited by them.
