I have just been advised by my broker that my Coleford the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be certain if this is indeed the case?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to contact your Coleford conveyancer. You lawyer should inform you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Coleford conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Coleford. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an upfront payment of £200. Soon after, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale 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.
My partner and I are planning on selling our house in Coleford and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Coleford conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Coleford. Having lived in Coleford for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
I have recentlybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Coleford for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Coleford conveyancing specialists.
I was advised by a number of selling agents in Coleford to locate a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your site ahead of a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
Do I cancel my mortgage payments with Barclays as soon as a completion date for my home sale in Coleford has been set?
