Me and my partner are hoping to purchase a 3 bedroom flat in Malden Rushett with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Malden Rushett conveyancer, however the lender says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or continue with our Malden Rushett lawyer and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We regard this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: 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 Malden Rushett conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
Me and my partner are soon to exchange buying a house in Malden Rushett but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the owner in the sum of £2k taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract but Barclays are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
Any property lawyer that is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is required to advise Barclays of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your solicitor to disclose the reduction to Barclays then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Barclays and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Malden Rushett.
We are due to move home in July. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Malden Rushett. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this site.

We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Malden Rushett or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Malden Rushett.
My lawyer has informed me that missing deeds insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Malden Rushett?
The right level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
Aldermore have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Malden Rushett has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your property agent will need to be informed of your lawyer's details (make sure the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Aldermore or the financial adviser and finalise any outstanding forms. Aldermore will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to book a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Aldermore will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Malden Rushett.
