We note that you have a post code search directory identifying firms on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Horfield?

We wish to acquire a newbuild flat in Horfield with a loan from Clydesdale.We like our Horfield conveyancing solicitor but Clydesdale says he's not on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Clydesdale panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Clydesdale use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale
I have recentlybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Horfield for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Horfield conveyancing specialists.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Horfield. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Horfield - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

However if the firm is charging a stamp duty e-submission fee as part of their services - some Horfield conveyancers do - that will incur VAT(4) Bank transfer fee - Yes it is for the lawyer's time in submitting the funds this way.
