Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Angmering is not on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Angmering conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Angmering for our home move. Our broker informed us that our bank Birmingham Midshires won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the category or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the amount of firms they permit to act for them. Be aware that Birmingham Midshires have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Birmingham Midshires Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there remains differing opinions about the level of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Angmering only execute very few conveyances a year.
The deeds to my property are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Angmering 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
You no longer need to have the physical original deeds to evidence that you are the registered proprietor of land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I'm converting the mortgage on my primary property to a BTL mortgage with TSB and intend to use the remaining equity towards further property. The neighborhood we are looking at is Angmering. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two mortgage companies and link together the transactions?
