I am expecting a mortgage offer from Lloyds. My intention is to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Abbots Langley. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I am soon to exchange on the purchase of a property in Abbots Langley but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the seller in the sum of six thousand pounds taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Skipton are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Your solicitor that is on a Skipton conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Skipton of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your solicitor to notify the reduction to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Abbots Langley.

Various online forums that I have come across warn that are a common cause of obstruction in Abbots Langley house deals. Is this right?
