My financial adviser requires my Paignton lawyer’ panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have e-mailed my local Paignton office but they don't know it.
Have you tried calling your Paignton conveyancer about this?. Most Paignton conveyancing practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
Will conveyancers ask for money on account for conveyancing in Paignton?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Paignton your solicitor will request that you place them with monies to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is payable against the total price then this should be asked for shortly before contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is needed will be payable shortly before completion.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Paignton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Paignton conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Paignton. Having lived in Paignton for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Paignton is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Paignton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Paignton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Paignton may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I am thinking of appointing a conveyancing practitioner in Paignton for my home move. Can I check a firm’s record with the profession’s regulator?

Please can you explain what my options are where my Paignton conveyancing searches reveals detrimental results?
On the whole, almost all adverse entries arising from Paignton conveyancing search responses can be dealt with before completion or indemnity insurance may be put in place. You need to note that although you may be buying the property and might be content to live with the search results, your mortgage lender may not, and ultimately the decision rests with them.
