After what seems like an age a loan offer from Nationwide for the remortgage of my 4 room apartment is expected any day now. Are you able to put forward a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Denham?
This site is not designed to assist those in pursuit of the lowest fares for conveyancing in Denham. Our goal is to offer affordable conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing organisations enticing you with £100 conveyancing in Denham. At best, in deciding on cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you spending a lot in additional fees and still not get the service required.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Principality Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Denham?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

Is it correct that all Denham CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing list of approved practices?
It is true that some lenders now use CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Denham conveyancing solicitors are instructed. How long does it take for Leeds Building Society to issue the offer to the lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Leeds Building Society completed the survey? Have you advised Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
