Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Falconwood is not identified on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Falconwood conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
Our Falconwood conveyancer has identified a difference when comparing the information in the home valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he is obliged to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s course or action legitimate?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Falconwood. I I would like to check if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing you should do is contact the solicitor and enquire whether they can act for the lender. Otherwise you should call Aldermore who may be able to help.
If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Falconwood what would it be?
It would be unwise to be seduced by the cheapest Falconwood conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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 go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
