Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Helston conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel?

Helston conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Coventry BS directly.

Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Helston solicitor - who is on the Principality conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Helston postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Helston.

My husband and I are 3 weeks into a freehold purchase having been recommend to a firm by the local agent to execute conveyancing in Helston. We are not happy. Can you help me find new solicitors?

In the event that it has you need to inform them of the new lawyer and get the mortgage documents are re-sent.
