Is the fact that my conveyancer in Haxby is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a 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. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Haxby conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Haxby and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the house moving process. For instance, the seller, selling agent and even potentially a lender. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Haxby should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
There is a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be at fault for the process taking so long. You should always trust your conveyancer above all other players in the conveyancing process.
I have justbeen informed that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Haxby for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Haxby conveyancing specialists.
