I have just been advised by my estate agent that my Binstead lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. What can I do to check?
You need to call your Binstead lawyer directly. You lawyer should advise you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Binstead conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
We were just about to sign contracts for a semi detached house in Binstead. We have hit a problem. Our mortgage offer with Lloyds TSB Bank expires on 1/7/2026 but the owners are suggesting a completion date of 3/7/2026. Can one prolong the loan expiry date?
The best person to address this question is your conveyancer who will hopefully assess whether he or she is should be discussing with the mortgage broker, owner’s solicitors, estate agents or conceivably all three based on the history of your transaction as of today.
We are buying a house in Binstead. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we have to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Binstead building society branch on a couple of occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Binstead conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the property lawyer is on the mortgage company panel, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Principality are being a right pain. The Binstead solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
A colleague advised me that where I am purchasing in Binstead I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is sometimes included in the estimate for your Binstead conveyancing searches.

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Binstead Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Binstead.
As co-executor for the estate of my grandmother I am disposing of a house in Swansea but reside in Binstead. My solicitor (who is 200 kilometers from merequires that I sign a statutory declaration ahead of completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Binstead who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Binstead
Searching for a conveyancing solicitor in Binstead. I thought I had one sorted but he's not on the approved list of Principality. It would appear that nowadays most banks only allow lawyers on their panel. Very frustrating limiting the choice for the paying public.
