We note that you have a post code search directory listing law firms on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Ewloe?

I am purchasing a victorian detached house in Ewloe. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to ascertain if these alterations are allowed?
Your solicitor should check the registered title as conveyancing in Ewloe can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of changes or require the permission of another owner. Certain extensions need local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
When it comes to lenders such as HSBC, do Ewloe lawyers have to pay an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Kent Reliance are being difficult. The Ewloe solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Kent Reliance are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance 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.
