My IFA has requested my Brantham law firm’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have e-mailed my local Brantham office but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Brantham property lawyer . Most Brantham law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
Do I select a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Brantham?

Can I be sure that the Brantham conveyancing solicitor on the Co-operative panel is any good?

We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from Lloyds as we want to conduct renovations to our home in Brantham. Are we obliged to select a local Brantham solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Lloyds do not ordinarily require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds panel.
Should my conveyancer be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Brantham.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Brantham. There are those who buy a property in Brantham, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Brantham. The standard information sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine if the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser may issue a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading response. A purchaser’s solicitors should also conduct an environmental report. This should indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be initiated.
It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Brantham took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Brantham is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Brantham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Brantham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brantham may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I have been Googling for Brantham online conveyancing estimates. Can I be sure that all the Brantham practices that are listed on your website are on the lender conveyancing panel?
The law firms listed on our site have advised us that they are on the mortgage company panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the mortgage company panel. To date we have not been informed by either a lender or a member of the public that the data about a specific Brantham firm being on the bank conveyancing panel is incorrect.
