I am getting a mortgage with Lloyds. I hope to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Coney Hall. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Coney Hall. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an on account payment of £175. Not long after, the solicitor called me to say that they were not on the Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society 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 was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by HSBC. Is it usual for HSBC to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Coney Hall is approved on their conveyancing panel? HSBC have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
My offer on a detached house in Coney Hall has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Coney Hall. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Co-operative?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Coney Hall conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your property lawyer is on the Co-operative approved list. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with Co-operative and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to move forward with searches.
Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are the main reason for obstruction in Coney Hall conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Coney Hall.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Coney Hall. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Coney Hall
-
If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
