I can't travel far from Ware. Please clarify why all Ware property lawyers aren't included on all lender panels?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that the organisation needs to have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some banks decided to restrict the number of firms they allow to act for them. It is worth noting that lenders have no liability for the quality of advice supplied by any Ware lawyer on their approved list. Mortgage fraud was the primary trigger for the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are opposing points of view concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Statistics via the Land Registry reveal that thousands of conveyancing firms only conduct less than three conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel culls ask why law firms should have any entitlement to be listed on a bank panel when clearly property law is not their primary expertise?
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Ware? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign should stipulate this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. If you refuse to hand over ID verification documents, your solicitor can not take you on as a client.
I just acquired a property at auction in Ware. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Given that you are now for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you should choose a conveyancing lawyer soon as you are faced with a pending a drop dead date to complete the property. All auction property will ordinarily have a bespoke auction pack. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. If you have purchased leasehold property the legal pack may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation pertinent to a leasehold property. You should hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Is it the case that all Ware conveyancing solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be overseen by the CLC.
We expect to receive a OIP from Santander this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Ware solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Ware solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the property agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their recommended lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Ware
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Ware conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
