My IFA has asked me for my Leominster solicitor’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have contacted my local Leominster office but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Leominster conveyancer . Most Leominster law practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (five years old) in Leominster. Almost all the properties have already been occupied. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Leominster?
If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a loan, your mortgage company will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Leominster conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Leominster.

Intending to buy a flat in Leominster. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Leominster conveyancer is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Leominster lawyer having made sure that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Leominster surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Your property agent will need to be advised as to your property lawyer's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Kent Reliance or the broker and finish off any appropriate documentation.

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Kent Reliance will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Leominster.
