I can't travel far from Raunds. What is the rationale as to why all Raunds solicitors are not on all bank panels?
Banks tend to restrict either the type or volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Frequent examples of such criteria being that a firm is required to have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some banks for example HSBC made a decision to restrict the size of their panel they permit to act for them. You should note that banks have no accountability for the quality of conveyancing provided by any Raunds solicitor on their approved list. Property fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are opposing opinions concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data published by HMLR reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out a couple of conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel pruning question why law firms deserve any entitlement to be on a lender panel when it is apparent that property law is not their speciality?
Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Raunds conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel?
Raunds conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Coventry BS directly.

I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Raunds accepted, the vendors do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The vendors have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Raunds. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Lloyds?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Raunds conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with Lloyds and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Raunds.
I have justbeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Raunds for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Raunds conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying a new build house in Raunds with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
