I am not in a position to travel far from Tarporley. Is there a reason why all Tarporley conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?
As unjust as it may seem for lenders to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or solicitor’s viewpoint, the flip side is that banks are becoming ever more anxious and feel it essential to shield themselves against mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern banks are limiting their conveyancing panel to a manageable size.
I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must leave my rented property in Tarporley by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Can I complete in a couple of weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Tarporley what would it be?
It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Tarporley conveyancing costs illustration. 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 know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
We had appointed solicitors based in Tarporley on the UBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional sum for the legal aspects of the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by UBS but by your Tarporley solicitor. Plenty of firms on the UBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, HSBC are being a right pain. The Tarporley solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but HSBC are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC 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.

Me and my fiance are expecting to exchange buying a house in Tarporley but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have negotiated reparation from the seller of five thousand pounds by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however the bank will not permit this. Should they have been approached?
The conveyancing practitioner being on a lender approved list is obliged to disclose to the bank of any variations to the sale figure. In the event that you prohibit your conveyancer to report the price change to your lender then they would have to refrain from acting for you and the bank.
