I am getting a mortgage with Nat West. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Wokingham. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
Some advice if I may. My Wokingham conveyancer is advising me that he has toconduct Wokingham conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the HSBCapproved lawyer panel. Is my solicitor right?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Wokingham conveyancing searches.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Wokingham before appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to grant a mortgage on such a house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Wokingham. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Wokingham to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
As co-executor for the estate of my aunt I am selling a property in Neath but reside in Wokingham. My conveyancer (who is 200 miles from mehas requested that I sign a statutory declaration ahead of completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Wokingham to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are located in Wokingham
At long last our conveyancing in Wokingham completes on Friday, yet the person I am buying from wants to move out 24 hours later at afternoon. Should I agree to such a idea?
In situations where you require a bank loan then your solicitor will insist that you have vacant possession on Friday - the lender will demand it.
