Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Syston is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?
That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Syston conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
IfI was to purchase a straightforward housein Syston mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Syston?
Any savings you would make would be limited to the disbursement for searches. Your solicitor is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with your sellers property lawyer, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a charge however it will not be meaningful.
Will lawyers ask for money on account for conveyancing in Syston?

I can see plenty of information on this site concerning conveyancing in Syston but what is your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Syston
It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Syston conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
We expect to receive a OIP from Aldermore this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Syston solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Syston solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nottingham are being a right pain. The Syston solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nottingham are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham 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.
