My financial adviser has asked me for my Worthing solicitor’s panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have called my local Worthing office but they have not responded to me.
Have you tried speaking to your Worthing conveyancing practitioner about this?. Most Worthing conveyancing firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
AssumingI were to purchase a straightforward homein Worthing mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Worthing?
Any savings you would achieve would be limited to the Worthing conveyancing searches. Your lawyer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with your vendors property lawyer, SDLT submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge but it won't be meaningful.
I own a freehold house in Worthing but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Worthing and has limited impact for conveyancing in Worthing but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
We wanted to use a property lawyer in Worthing for our house move. Our broker has since advised us that our bank Norwich and Peterborough Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the agent told us that the owners will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Worthing
It is improbable the owners are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Worthing conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
