My IFA has requested my Ryde law firm’s panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have e-mailed my local Ryde office but they cant find it on their system.
You are best placed to get this information from your Ryde conveyancing practitioner . Most Ryde law practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
My wife and I are soon to complete buying a house in Ryde but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the seller of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet Co-operative will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
Any solicitor being on the Co-operative approved list is required to advise Co-operative of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the reduction to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Ryde.
Are the Ryde conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the RBS conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by RBS?
Ryde conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from RBS directly.
My mortgage company has recommended a law firm on their panel based in Ryde but I would rather instruct a conveyancing lawyer in Ryde round the corner to me. Are you able to help?

Completion is due on our sale of a £200,000 garden flat in Ryde next week. The management company has quoted £420 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Ryde?
Ryde conveyancing on leasehold flats usually requires the purchaser’s lawyer sending enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address these enquiries most will be willing to assist. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable administration fee for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is in excess of £800. The management information fee required by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of rights and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the invoice is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to sell the property.
