My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Barton under Needwood and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your lawyer is duty bound to clarify with the bank to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
We wanted to use a property lawyer in Barton under Needwood for our home move. Our broker informed us that our bank Virgin Money won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Mortgage Companies on the whole imposes restrictions either the category or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, a few banks have reduced the amount of solicitor practices they allow to act for them. Be aware that Virgin Money have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Virgin Money Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of solicitor panels since 2008 even though there are differing opinions about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry indicate that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Barton under Needwood only perform a couple conveyances per annum.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Barton under Needwood. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Barton under Needwood?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Bank of Ireland, do Barton under Needwood conveyancers incur a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by TSB. Is it usual for TSB to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Barton under Needwood is approved on their conveyancing panel? TSB have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I have chosen a Barton under Needwood conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (novice purchasers) and have noticed in the Ts and Cs that they are not governed by the FCA. Am I right to be concerned or is that standard with property lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancing practitioner don't lend money. They should be governed by the SRA, who set strict stipulations in relation to funds deposited in their bank.
