I am buying property in Tadworth. My lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company approved list. Can I still retain my Tadworth conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank approved list?
One will need to appoint a property lawyer to complete the formalities when you require a loan to purchase your property. The lawyer will carry out all the relevant legal checks on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in place. One can appoint a Tadworth lawyer of your choice. However, if the lawyer selected is not a member of the mortgage company conveyancing panel further costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not historically sought membership they can do so.
When will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Tadworth and do I need to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Tadworth you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Tadworth)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I currently have a mortgage with Barclays for my property in Tadworth. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
Your original mortgage agreement with Barclays will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Barclays will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Skipton are being a right pain. The Tadworth solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Skipton are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton 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.
