My financial adviser has asked me for my Burwell law firm’s panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have contacted my local Burwell branch but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Burwell lawyer . Most Burwell conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
I am under pressure from the executor of a property in Burwell to sign contracts within four weeks. What can I do to speed up matters?
First, If you are under pressure to exchange it is advisable to make sure that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local connections and know-how. It is possible that they could have transacted otherhouses in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Burwell conveyancing solicitor. In addition, ensure that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is believed that just under twenty per cent of Burwell conveyancing transactions are frustrated or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the buying process being frustrated by almost 21 days. It is claimed that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home moves every year. Almost all Burwell conveyancing firms can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Kent Reliance, do Burwell property lawyers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

Can you point me to a directory of Kent Reliance panel solicitors in Burwell on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

I have instructed a Burwell property lawyer having checked that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Burwell postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Burwell.
I'm converting the mortgage on my current property to a buy to let loan with Godiva Mortgages Ltd and I will use the ballance of the raised equity towards further house. The location we are talking about is Burwell. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two banks and tie in the conveyances?
Make use of our comparison tool on this site to ensure that the conveyancers are on the relevant lender panels. On the basis that they are your conveyancer should be able to simultaneously deal with the two conveyancing matters but you should talk with you solicitor and make clear your desired outcome and needs.
