I can't travel far from Holsworthy. Can you please spell out why all Holsworthy conveyancers are not on all bank panels?
As inequitable as it may seem for banks to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or lawyer’s perspective, the flip side is that banks are increasingly anxious and feel it essential to protect them from mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern lenders are limiting their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.
We are about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Holsworthy but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the owner in the sum of £2k in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Nottingham will not permit this. Should they have been approached?
Any conveyancer that is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Nottingham of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your lawyer to disclose the reduction to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nottingham and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Holsworthy.
Do I select a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Holsworthy?

We are due to move house in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Holsworthy. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from the estate agent however this should only happen once the sellers lawyers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Holsworthy or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Holsworthy.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Clydesdale. Is it usual for Clydesdale to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Holsworthy is approved on their conveyancing panel? Clydesdale have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

How does conveyancing in Holsworthy differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Holsworthy come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Holsworthy tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Holsworthy or who has acted in the same development.
