My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Fortis Green. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Barclays Direct conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing you should do is phone your conveyancer and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Alternatively please get in touch with Barclays Direct who may be able to assist.
We are planning to move property in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Fortis Green. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your selling agent but this can only be done when the vendors solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. You should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Fortis Green or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Fortis Green.
is it true that all Fortis Green solicitor practices on the Barclays conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be overseen by the CLC.
We had selected solicitors with offices in Fortis Green on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Fortis Green conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Is it necessary to take out insurance to address the risk of chancel repairs when buying a property in Fortis Green?

I am purchasing a new build house in Fortis Green with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Should I be concerned by 3rd parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a local Fortis Green conveyancing company?
As with lots of service providers, often suggestions from connections can be most helpful. Yet there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may put forward solicitors to retain. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to choose your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that the majority of mortgage providers specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
