My mortgage broker says he needs my Stoke Newington law firm’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have called my local Stoke Newington branch but they don't know it.

The Stoke Newington conveyancing firm handling our Stoke Newington conveyancing has identified a discrepancy when comparing the information in the valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he needs to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach legitimate?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Stoke Newington. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Given that you are now to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you now have to appoint a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you are faced with a tight a fixed date to complete the property. Every auction property will have a corresponding legal set of papers. This will include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. If you have purchased leasehold property the legal papers may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation relating to a leasehold property. You should give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Stoke Newington. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Stoke Newington and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Stoke Newington. Having lived in Stoke Newington for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I moved into my home on 11 September and the transaction details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Stoke Newington advises it should be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Stoke Newington uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Stoke Newington registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the property so registration formalities is not always an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Stoke Newington. I happened to chance upon a site which seems to have the perfect offering If it is possible to get all the legals completed via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
