In the main conveyancing solicitors in your location will have good connections with your local authority, which can assist with your Crossness conveyancing searches that your solicitor will need to carry out.

We previously appointed solicitors locally in Crossness on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental fee for handling the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Coventry BS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer may levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Coventry BS but by your Crossness property lawyer. Some firms on the Coventry BS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Lloyds are being pedantic. The Crossness solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Lloyds are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Santander. Is it usual for Santander to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Crossness is approved on their conveyancing panel? Santander have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Crossness 4 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be recorded by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, find your house and secure current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.

I have just had an offer accepted on a leasehold flat in Crossness and the mortgage adviser that we are dealing with suggested his solicitor. She quoted a thousand pounds excluding VAT and disbursements. Does this sound expensive?
