My financial adviser requires my Creekmouth lawyer’ panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have contacted my local Creekmouth branch but they have not responded to me.
Have you tried contacting your Creekmouth solicitor about this?. Most Creekmouth conveyancing firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Creekmouth? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Terms and Conditions that you are required to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Where you are unwilling to provide ID verification documents, your conveyancer can not take you on as a client.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel lawyer as I would much rather appoint a Creekmouth based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers should you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the lender and explore if they make available a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Creekmouth.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Creekmouth in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not give a loan on a flying freehold home.

Do I need to be wary by third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Creekmouth conveyancing company?
As is the case with many service providers, often recommendations from connections can be worth their weight in gold. But there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all recommend solicitors to choose. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to choose your own lawyer. Don't forget that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.
My conveyancing in Creekmouth completes on Friday, but the person I am purchasing off wishes to move out on the Saturday PM. Should I accept such a idea?
It is not possible to complete on a Saturday due to the bank systems aren't working.
