I can't travel far from Blackwood. Is there a reason why all Blackwood conveyancers aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Before the recession most lenders exhibited an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The FSA in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the solicitors on your panel. Accordingly, lenders have since requiredmore information from law firms about their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Thousands of firms have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to meet the criteria of amount of transactions the lenders required.

I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Blackwood agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Blackwood. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Blackwood conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your property lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Blackwood.
The deeds to my house can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Blackwood 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

If duplicates can’t be located, your solicitor may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your property.
