Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Chadwell Heath is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Chadwell Heath conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
We wanted to use a property lawyer in Chadwell Heath for our home move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our bank Britannia won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Mortgage Companies tend to imposes restrictions either the type or the amount of conveyancing practices on their member panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the profile of firm, some have reduced the number of solicitor practices they use to represent them. Be aware that Britannia have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Britannia Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there are mixed views concerning the level of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry indicate that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Chadwell Heath only perform one or two conveyances per annum.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a ground floor flat in Chadwell Heath. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Chadwell Heath?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Chadwell Heath. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
Is it correct that all Chadwell Heath CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now make use of CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
When it comes to lenders such as Nottingham, do Chadwell Heath property lawyers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the estate agent has warned us that the owners will only move forward if we use their recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Chadwell Heath
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Chadwell Heath conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
