I can't travel far from Camborne. Is there a reason why all Camborne property lawyers are not on all lender panels?
Banks tend to restrict either the nature or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that a practice needs to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some building societies made a decision to limit the size of their panel they allow to represent them. It is worth noting that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of conveyancing provided by any Camborne property lawyer on their panel. Increases in mortgage fraud was the primary trigger for the culling of solicitor panels in the last decade even though there are conflicting views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry exposes that thousands of conveyancing firms only transact a couple of conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel pruning ask why law firms should have claim to be listed on a conveyancing panel when clearly conveyancing is not their speciality?
Finally the sale completed on my house in Camborne last October yet the purchaser is e-mailing every few hours to say his solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Post completion of your disposal your solicitor should forward the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer should also evidence that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities unique to conveyancing in Camborne.
My wife and I are buying a property in Camborne. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to send money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

We are planning to move property in July. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Camborne. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your selling agent however this can only occur once the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Camborne or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Camborne.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Camborne. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £200. A few days later, the conveyancer called me to say that they were not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Bank of Ireland panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Camborne?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Camborne.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Camborne with a mortgage from Britannia. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this extras as it may put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
