Is the fact that my conveyancer in Heaton is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Heaton conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
The Heaton conveyancing firm handling our Heaton conveyancing has uncovered an inconsistency between the information in the valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor says that he is obliged to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s approach correct?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

Intending to buy a apartment in Heaton.

I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

I had an offer accepted on a house in Heaton on 25/10/2024, valuation was booked 3 days later, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Aldermore and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I pay a service charge for my property in Heaton. Due to losing my job and personal issues I fell into arrears with remittance. I negotiated a clearance schedule but there is still approximately £3000 currently due.
I am under pressure to dispose of the property and I am worried this could jeopardize the sale if I have to pay off the amount due in advance. I'd like to sell up and then discharge the debt from the completion monies - is this practicable?
It would be wise to check with the lawyer dealing with your Heaton conveyancing but it may be possible to agree for the arrears to be transferred to the buyers. The contractual price they pay would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They would then pay the arrears after completion of the purchase.
