I am not well enough to travel far from Stamfordham. I would like to know the logic why all Stamfordham solicitors are not on all lender panels?
Banks normally impose restrictions on either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors 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 nature of firm, some lenders decided to reduce the number of firms they allow to represent them. You should note that banks have no liability for the quality of conveyancing provided by any Stamfordham lawyer on their panel. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the reduction of solicitor panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are opposing opinions concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Statistics via HMLR indicates that thousands of conveyancing firms only transact a couple of conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel cuts question why law firms deserve claim to remain on a bank panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?
We are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Stamfordham but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Barclays are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
Any solicitor that is on a Barclays conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to Barclays of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to report the price change to Barclays then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Barclays and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Stamfordham.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Stamfordham registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the buyer is living at the premises thus registration formalities is not usually primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
