I can't travel far from Haslington. Please spell out why all Haslington solicitors are not on all lender panels?
Mortgage Companies tend to impose restrictions on either the type or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a practice must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some banks such as HSBC decided to reduce the number of organisations they allow to represent them. You should note that banks have no accountability for the quality of conveyancing supplied by any Haslington lawyer on their approved list. Mortgage fraud was the key driver in the rationalisation of solicitor panels in the last decade even though there are opposing assessments concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data via HMLR reveal that thousands of law organisations only carry out less than three conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts question why law firms should have claim to remain on a conveyancing panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?
My mortgage company has recommended a law firm on their panel based in Haslington but I would rather choose a conveyancing lawyer in Haslington round the corner to me. Can you help?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Haslington is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Haslington are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Haslington you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Haslington may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Given that I am about to part with £400,000 on 3 bedroom house in Haslington I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer about myconveyancing ahead of instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the lawyer who will be carrying out your conveyancing in Haslington.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important individual, not a case number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Haslington should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the estate agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we use their recommended conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Haslington
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Haslington conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
