I can't travel far from Grange Over Sands. I would like to know the understand why all Grange Over Sands lawyers are not on all lender panels?
Before the recession most mortgage companies exhibited an approach to risk which is different from today. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into property fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. Consequently, mortgage companies have subsequently soughtmore data from law firms about their processes and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Many firms have been excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to satisfy the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies required.
We are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Grange Over Sands but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller in the sum of three thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet UBS will not permit this. Should they have been involved?
Any conveyancing practitioner being on a UBS approved list is obliged to disclose to UBS of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to notify the reduction to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, UBS and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Grange Over Sands.

I am helping my step-mother sell her house in Grange Over Sands. Does the conveyancing solicitor arrange an energy assessment or do I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates remained a compulsory component of moving house. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. This is not something that lawyers ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Grange Over Sands conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with reputable local providers
My lawyer has informed me that restrictive coveneant insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Grange Over Sands conveyancing?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
