I am looking for value for money conveyancer. Do I opt for an internet conveyancer as opposed to a high street Coleshill conveyancing lawyer?
Established third party connections is an important consideration when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Coleshill law firms enjoy connections with lenders and agents, local authorities, surveyors and other law firms meaning the whole process is going to be much smoother for you. Possessing years of experience in the local area also helps too.
My husband and I are buying a newbuild flat in Coleshill with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works.We like our Coleshill conveyancing lawyer but The Mortgage Works informed us he's not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a The Mortgage Works panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that The Mortgage Works use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the The Mortgage Works approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Mortgage Works

My husband and I plan to purchase our 1st house in Coleshill. Conveyancing practitioner already chosen. The broker pointed out that a survey is not appropriate as the house is just fifteen years old.
You would be well advised to have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the property is more than 10 years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. They will highlight any apparent issues and recommend further investigation if relevant. If there are any indications of material issues seek a full structural survey.
