Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Chulmleigh. I would like to know the logic why all Chulmleigh conveyancers aren't included on all mortgage company panels?

Mortgage companies highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It led to mortgage companies removing a number of firms off their panel of approved conveyancers .

I am only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Chulmleigh and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?

The conveyancer is obliged to check with mortgage company to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am selling our house in Chulmleigh and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Chulmleigh. We have lived in Chulmleigh for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.

It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
