We are looking to buy a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Goring who is on the Co-operative solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Co-operative . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Goring.
My fiance and I are hoping to buy a purpose built flat in Goring with a residential mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd.We have a Goring conveyancing practitioner but Godiva Mortgages Ltd informed us her practice is not listed on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Godiva Mortgages Ltd use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd solicitor panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Godiva Mortgages Ltd
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Goring. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Goring?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Goring. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
We previously chose solicitors locally in Goring on the Principality solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further sum for dealing with the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Principality?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Principality but by your Goring conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Principality panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Goring. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Goring?

We are 3 weeks into a leasehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the high street agent to perform conveyancing in Goring. I am am very disappointed with the quality of service. Can you help me find new solicitors?
They would have to be really poor in order to consider changing them. Has your mortgage offer been sent? In the event that it has you need to advise them of the replacement conveyancer and have the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally needs to be on the banks approved list to avoid supplemental expenses and complications. That should be your first question of the new lawyers.
