Appointing the right conveyancer can be the difference between a seamless and a frustrating move. You need to ensure that you have expert guidance from a trusted lawyer. Emails can't be as helpful as a telephone discussion and can never replicate a one to one consultation. The firms that we work with will appoint you a qualified and top rated conveyancing solicitor who can deal with your conveyancing from start to finish, giving the sort of continuity that you rarely receive from an internet conveyancer. He or She will contact you regularly to update you on progress and keep you informed.

The Guildford conveyancing firm handling our Guildford conveyancing has spotted a discrepancy between the information in the home valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor has advised that he is obliged to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s stance appropriate?

Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Guildford for our house move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company TSB won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?

Before the recession most mortgage companies had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Guildford conveyancing firms would have been on many mortgage company panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more data from law firms relating to their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of conveyancing. Many Guildford conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Guildford is amongst the hundreds of areas where the solicitors we recommend are members of the panel for TSB.
