My IFA says he needs my East Coker lawyer’ panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have e-mailed my local East Coker branch but they don't know it.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your East Coker solicitor . Most East Coker law practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
My brother and I have just purchased a house in East Coker. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in East Coker?
The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in East Coker. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a document referred to as a SPIF. answers provided is incorrect, then you may have a claim against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in East Coker.

We were going to get a DIP from Coventry BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any East Coker solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint East Coker solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.
I currently have a mortgage with Lloyds for my property in East Coker. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Lloyds?
Lloyds must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Lloyds directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel firm.
