Finally the sale completed on my house in Bexhill last April but the buyer keeps Skype messaging me complaining that his lawyer is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What should have happened following completion?
Post completion of your sale your lawyer is duty bound to send the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Where appropriate, your lawyer must also send confirmation that the mortgage has been discharged to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion requirements just for conveyancing in Bexhill.
Are all Bexhill Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing list of approved firms?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their panels.
I am expecting a DIP from Clydesdale this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Bexhill solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Bexhill solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Bexhill on 9/9/2026, valuation was booked five days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Co-operative and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Are Co-operative entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Bexhill 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
You no longer need to hold title 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.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Bexhill in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property.
