Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Barons Court is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor 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 Barons Court conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must be out of my let out apartment in Barons Court by 24/11/2025. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Can I complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to give notice for your letting until exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, speak to your solicitor and request that they cajole the sellers side, try to a target completion date that all parties will aim towards
What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Barons Court?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Barons Court or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. For instance, the vendor, property agent and even potentially the mortgage company. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Barons Court should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may try and sway you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
I am considering applying for a Kent Reliance mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Barons Court with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Kent Reliance ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Kent Reliance will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
