Some advice if I may. My Amble lawyer is advising me that he is legally obliged toapply for Amble conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. Do I not have any say here?

You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’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 Amble conveyancing searches.

We note that you have a post code search directory identifying firms on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I appoint them for our conveyancing in Amble?

We previously appointed conveyancers based in Amble on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate charge for the legal aspects of the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Aldermore?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Amble conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Aldermore panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

My offer on a property in Amble has been agreed to, the owners do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The sellers have put an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Amble. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Nationwide?

It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Amble conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of buyers would apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to press on with searches.

I got the keys to my flat on 16 January and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Amble expressed confidence that it would be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in Amble particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Amble is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I am looking for a conveyancing solicitor in Amble for my remortgage. Is there any facility to review a firm’s complaints history with the legal regulator?
