Can you help? My Paulton solicitor is informing me me that she is duty bound toorder Paulton conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Santandersolicitor panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a home loan with a mortgage company your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Paulton conveyancing searches.
We are planning to acquire a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Paulton who is on the HSBC approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Paulton is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Paulton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Paulton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Paulton may decide 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 property.
My husband and I are a fortnight into a freehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the estate agent to do our conveyancing in Paulton. I am am very disappointed with the quality of service. Could you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
They would need to be very bad to suggest replacing them. Has the mortgage offer been issued? In the event that it has you will need to inform them of the new solicitor and get the mortgage documents are re-issued. The solicitor ideally should be on the banks approved list to avoid supplemental expenses and delays. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers. The search tool can assist you in finding a lender approved solicitor for your conveyancing in Paulton
Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
