My partner and I are planning to buy a flat in Hetton Le Hole and have appointed a Hetton Le Hole conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our solicitor has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Chelsea Building Society have this afternoon contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Hetton Le Hole lawyer is not on their conveyancing panel. What do we do from here?
If you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Hetton Le Hole lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.

Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Hetton Le Hole. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?
Given that you have now exchanged you must appoint a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of urgency as you now have a tight a drop dead date to complete the deal. Every auction property should have an associated auction pack. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold property the legal papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation specific to leasehold premises. You should pass this on to the conveyancer instructed by you as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that your finances are organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I am aiming to move house in December. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Hetton Le Hole. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your estate agent but this can only take place once the previous owners lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. You should advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Hetton Le Hole or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Hetton Le Hole.

My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Hetton Le Hole and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated.
