My mortgage broker requires my Queensbury solicitor’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have called my local Queensbury office but they cant find it on their system.
You are best placed to get this information from your Queensbury conveyancer . Most Queensbury law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Queensbury and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
The property lawyer is duty bound to clarify with lender to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Queensbury conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel?
Queensbury conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Clydesdale directly.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Queensbury in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks tend not grant a loan on such a premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions from Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Queensbury. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Queensbury to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
I am hoping to exchange soon on a leasehold property in Queensbury. Conveyancing solicitors have said that they will have a report out to me tomorrow. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

-

I have given up trying to purchase the freehold in Queensbury. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

I see that you have a search directory identifying law firms on the lender conveyancing panel. Do Queensbury conveyancing firms pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for my own conveyancing?
