I am not well enough to travel far from Cromer. What is the rationale as to why all Cromer lawyers aren't included on all lender panels?
Banks point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The elimination of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in lenders removing a number of firms from their panel of approved lawyers .

I am planning to move home in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Cromer. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this can only take place when the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. You can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Cromer or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Cromer.
My husband and I have arranged the release of further funds on our home loan from Kent Reliance as we wish to conduct renovations to our house in Cromer. Are we obliged to appoint a nearby Cromer solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Kent Reliance don't usually require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

There are only 68 years unexpired on my lease in Cromer. I now want to extend my lease but my landlord is missing. What options are available to me?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to locate the landlord. On the whole a specialist may be useful to conduct investigations and to produce a report which can be used as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Cromer.

We have today had an offer accepted on our first house in Cromer, and are now looking to get solicitors appointed. I have used the different rating tools and the results are from all over the England and Wales. Is it necessary to have a Cromer conveyancer local to your potential house? We are fine to do all the communicating over the internet, but I guess at some stage we will need to visit the property lawyer's office to sign documents?
The solicitor does not have to be in Cromer, but choosing local means that you have the option to visit their offices if you need to, for instance, if a signature is immediately necessary. Furthermore, a Cromer solicitor is likely to be familiar with local agents and (if the vendor has instructed a local conveyancer) with them, which should help keep things moving faster.
