Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Debenham

Is the fact that my solicitor in Debenham is not listed on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Debenham conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Is it the case that all Debenham conveyancing solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Debenham conveyancing practitioner is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
