Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Castleton. What is the rationale as to why all Castleton conveyancing practitioners aren't included on all bank panels?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily impose restrictions on either the type or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. Frequent examples of such restriction(s) being that a practice is required to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some lenders made a decision to restrict the number of conveyancers they permit to represent them. You should note that mortgage companies have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Castleton lawyer on their approved list. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are opposing points of view concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicates that thousands of law practices only conduct less than three conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel pruning question why conveyancing firms deserve any entitlement to remain on a bank panel when it is apparent that property law is not their speciality?
We are purchasing a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Castleton who is on the Leeds Building Society approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Castleton. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Castleton?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Castleton. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Castleton building society branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Castleton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The solicitor has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
