My IFA requires my Haddenham lawyer’ panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have e-mailed my local Haddenham branch but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Haddenham property lawyer . Most Haddenham conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
The Haddenham conveyancing firm handling our Haddenham conveyancing has identified a discrepancy between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s approach right?
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.
Is there a search tool that I can use to discover of the solicitor handling my conveyancing in Haddenham is on the lender’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Barclays thus paying £187.00 plus VAT in supplemental legal charges.
Feel free to make the most of the search tool on this site. Pick the lender and type ‘Haddenham’ or your location and you will discover numerous conveyancers located in Haddenham or nearest you.

What are your top tips when it comes to choosing a Haddenham conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
When appointing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Haddenham conveyancing practice) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you make enquires with several firms including non Haddenham conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be useful:
-
How many lease extensions has the firm completed in Haddenham in the last twenty four months?

Is anyone aware of any major works anticipated that will likely add a premium to the maintenance fees? Who takes responsibility for maintaining and repairing the building? Does the lease include onerous restrictions?
My fiance and I are buying a four bedroom ground floor flatin Haddenham with a residential mortgage from a lender. We have selected a conveyancer in Haddenham yet our lender advise she’s not listed on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose from the our lender panel firms or keep our Haddenham 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 lender home loan issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Haddenham : a borrower could choose 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 your mortgage company.
