I am not in a position to travel far from Camelford. I would like to know the understand why all Camelford solicitors are not on all lender panels?
Mortgage Companies normally impose restrictions on either the nature or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that the firm needs to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some banks decided to limit the size of their panel they use to act for them. You should note that mortgage companies have no liability for the standard of advice supplied by any Camelford lawyer on their approved list. Mortgage fraud was the key driver in the culling of solicitor panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are conflicting thoughts about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data published by HM Land Registry reveal that thousands of law organisations only transact one or two conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel consolidation ask why conveyancing firms deserve claim to remain on a lender panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their speciality?

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Camelford off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with TSB. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.
I have instructed a Camelford conveyancer having made sure that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
TSB will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually TSB 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 lawyer 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 Camelford postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Camelford.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Camelford. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Camelford
-
Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

My conveyancer (approximately 235 miles from merequires that I execute a statutory declaration ahead of completion.
