Is the fact that my solicitor in Farnborough is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (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. If you are concerned you should contact the Farnborough conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
My wife and I are about to complete buying a property in Farnborough but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor in the sum of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet TSB will not permit this. Should they have been informed?
Any conveyancing practitioner being on a TSB conveyancing panel is required to advise TSB of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, TSB and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Farnborough.
We are buying a newbuild flat in Farnborough with a mortgage from TSB.We use our Farnborough conveyancing solicitor but TSB advised that her practice is not on their approved list of firms. It seems we have little choice but to instruct a TSB panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the TSB approved list. in the past, most banks 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for TSB

My wife and I have arranged the release of further funds on our home loan from Aldermore as we wish to conduct renovations to our home in Farnborough. Are we obliged to select a nearby Farnborough solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Aldermore would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore list.
Just acquired a terraced house in Farnborough , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Farnborough conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the registration is addressed.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Farnborough registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not always top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
