I am selling my maisonette in Netherley and the estate agent has just called to say that the buyers are switching law firm. I am told that this is due to the fact that the bank will only engage with solicitors on their conveyancing panel. On what basis would a big named lender only deal with certain solicitors rather the firm that they want to select for their conveyancing in Netherley ?
Banks have always had panels of law firms that can represent them, but in the past few years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for decades.
Mortgage companies point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the cull – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to keep an eye on. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society says it is hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms are unaware that they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. Your purchasers are unlikely to have any impact on this.
Can you point me to a directory of Principality panel conveyancers in Netherley on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings visible online. If you are in need of a Netherley conveyancing practitioner on the Principality please make the most of our tool.
Intending to buy a apartment in Netherley. 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 HSBC 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 Netherley lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
Yorkshire BS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a apartment in Netherley has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Yorkshire BS or the broker and complete any outstanding documentation. Yorkshire BS will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Yorkshire BS will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Netherley.
Various web forums that I have come across warn that are the main reason for hinderance in Netherley house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Netherley.

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
