Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Crews Hill. I would like to know the logic why all Crews Hill lawyers aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Banks ordinarily restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such criteria being that the practice needs to have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the structure of firm, some building societies decided to limit the number of practices they permit to act for them. You should note that banks have no accountability for the standard of service provided by any Crews Hill conveyancer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the culling of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are contrary points of view concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data from HMLR reveal that thousands of conveyancing organisations only conduct one or two conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel culls ask why conveyancing firms deserve any entitlement to be listed on a lender panel when it is evident that property law is not their primary expertise?

we are a couple who are buying a newly converted apartment in Crews Hill with a homeloan from Chelsea Building Society.We use our Crews Hill conveyancing practitioner but Chelsea Building Society informed us he's not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Chelsea Building Society panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Chelsea Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Chelsea Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the Chelsea Building Society approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Chelsea Building Society
I am expecting a OIP from Skipton this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Crews Hill solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Crews Hill solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
I have paid off my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Crews Hill lawyer on the Aldermore panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore 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 Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, 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 Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Crews Hill off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
