I am not in a position to travel far from Eastwood. What is the rationale as to why all Eastwood conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?

Mortgage companies point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The elimination of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in lenders pruning a number of firms from their official list of approved conveyancing practitioners .

We're in Eastwood, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Virgin Money , and our solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Eastwood and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Eastwood lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Eastwood. Having lived in Eastwood for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

I have justbeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Eastwood for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
