Is the fact that my solicitor in Kilgetty is not on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume 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. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Kilgetty conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
The owners of the house we are purchasing are using a conveyancing solicitor in Kilgetty who has recommended a preliminary contract with a down payment two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This kind of preliminary agreement is not the norm in Kilgetty, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the seller has signed an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they receive sufficient financial inducement to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be legally obliged to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not compare to the financial benefit that the owner may secure by breaking the agreement, however morally shameful it undoubtedly is.
I am considering applying for a Clydesdale mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Kilgetty with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, but Clydesdale would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
