I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in East Bergholt for our house move. Our broker has since notified us that our bank Nationwide Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Before the recession most banks had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all East Bergholt conveyancing firms would have been on most lender panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 completed a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which concluded: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies have regularly sought more information from law firms regarding their operations and the individuals who work for them and establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of transactions. Many East Bergholt conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. East Bergholt is one of the numerous locations where the conveyancers showing on our search results are are approved Nationwide Building Society.

This question may be naive but I am new to the process as FTB of a ground floor flat in East Bergholt. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in East Bergholt?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Yorkshire BS are being difficult. The East Bergholt solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Yorkshire BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
