My mortgage broker requires my Earlswood solicitor’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have contacted my local Earlswood branch but they have not got back to me yet.
Have you tried contacting your Earlswood solicitor about this?. Most Earlswood law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
My wife and I are selling our home in Earlswood and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Earlswood. Having lived in Earlswood for six years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I am purchasing a new build house in Earlswood with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it may affect my mortgage with Nottingham Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
My uncle has suggested that I appoint his conveyancers in Earlswood. Should I use them?

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Earlswood. Conveyancing and Barclays Direct mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Earlswood who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
First make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Earlswood conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
