I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Nat West. My intention is to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Ramsgate. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
Can your site be used to recommend a Conveyancing solicitor in Ramsgate even where I’m not buying or disposing of a house, for example where I wish to buy a shop in Ramsgate with a mortgage from Clydesdale?

You will need to make contact with the solicitors directly to establish if they are also authorised to represent Clydesdale
I have been told that property searches are a common cause of obstruction in Ramsgate house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Ramsgate.
I have been recommended by a couple of local property agents in Ramsgate to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers rather than another?
We don’t give any financial incentive for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My husband and I are 3 weeks into a residential purchase having been referred to solicitors by the high street agent to execute conveyancing in Ramsgate. I am am extremely disappointed with the quality of service. Can you help me find new solicitors?
A lawyer would need to be very poor to suggest replacing them. Has your mortgage been issued? If so you will need to advise them of the new solicitor and get the offer are re-issued. Your new conveyancer should be on the lenders panel to avoid added fees and delays. So that should be your starting point. The search tool can help you find a bank approved conveyancer for your home move in Ramsgate
Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on the disposal of our £300,000 maisonette in Ramsgate in 5 days.

Copies of the building insurance and schedule
Deeds of covenant upon sale
Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
