Are the BSA intent on creating a searchable register to list practices on the Loughborough BS conveyancing panel for instance in Ruislip Manor?
We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a garden flat in Ruislip Manor. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Ruislip Manor?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Ruislip Manor. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
Are all Ruislip Manor Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the TSB conveyancing list of approved practices?
A selection of banks and building societies now use CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their panels.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Coventry BS are being pedantic. The Ruislip Manor solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Coventry BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are a common reason for delay in Ruislip Manor house deals. Is that correct?

Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Ruislip Manor.
