I can't travel far from Chaddesley Corbett. I would like to know the understand why all Chaddesley Corbett lawyers are not on all lender panels?
Lenders normally impose restrictions on either the type or volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that the firm must have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some lenders made a decision to limit the size of their panel they permit to act for them. It is worth noting that building societies have no accountability for the quality of conveyancing given by any Chaddesley Corbett conveyancer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the primary trigger for the culling of conveyancing panels in the last decade even though there are differing points of view concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from HM Land Registry reveal that thousands of law practices only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel culls question why conveyancing firms deserve any entitlement to remain on a lender panel when it is evident that conveyancing is not their speciality?
My wife and I have just purchased a property in Chaddesley Corbett. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been conducted for conveyancing in Chaddesley Corbett?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Chaddesley Corbett. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller fills in a form called a SPIF. answers ends up being inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Chaddesley Corbett.
As someone unfamiliar with the Chaddesley Corbett conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can give me concerning the home moving process in Chaddesley Corbett
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Chaddesley Corbett and elsewhere in Worcestershire is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, selling agent and sometimes a mortgage company. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Chaddesley Corbett is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose role it is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
There is a distinct emergence of a "blame" culture- someone has to be blamed for the process taking so long. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your solicitor ahead of all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Chaddesley Corbett. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Not long after, the property lawyer called me to say that they were not on the RBS 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 RBS 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.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Virgin Money are being problematic. The Chaddesley Corbett solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Virgin Money are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Chaddesley Corbett on 7/7/2025, valuation was booked 4 days after, received a clean bill of health.

Having made daily calls to Principality and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
