I have just been advised by my mortgage broker that my Arnold property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. How can I check?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to call your Arnold conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.

My husband and I are one month into a residential purchase having been referred to a firm by the selling agent to perform conveyancing in Arnold. I am not happy. Could you help me find new conveyancers?
They would need to be very bad to suggest changing them. Has the mortgage offer been sent? In the event that it has you need to inform them of the new lawyer and ensure the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your new solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added charges and delays. That should be your starting point.

What is the distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Arnold?
Conveyancing - in Arnold or anywhere in England and Wales - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re intending to buy and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to remedy the problems before you complete your move.
