I can't travel far from Fakenham. I would like to know the understand why all Fakenham property lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?
As unjust as it may seem for mortgage companies to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or solicitor’s point of view, the flip side is that lending institutions are becoming ever more anxious and feel it vital to defend themselves from illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern mortgage companies have reduced their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a manageable size.
Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Fakenham conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the UBS conveyancing panel?
Fakenham conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the UBS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from UBS directly.
How can we know in advance if a Fakenham conveyancing solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Fakenham getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Kent Reliance are being a right pain. The Fakenham 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.
TSB have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Fakenham has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Call up TSB or your financial adviser and finish off any outstanding paperwork. TSB will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to schedule a slot for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days to receive the mortgage offer. TSB will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Fakenham.

Me and my partner are purchasing a four bedroom housein Fakenham with a mortgage from a lender. We have selected a lawyer in Fakenham however our bank advise she’s not listed on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our bank panel firms or stay with our Fakenham conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company home loan issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Fakenham : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
