Please help. My Hotwells solicitor is informing me me that he is legally obliged toapply for Hotwells conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Santanderapproved lawyer panel. Is this really necessary?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Hotwells conveyancing searches.

Finally the sale completed on my house in Hotwells last January yet the purchaser is telephoning me to moan that their solicitor needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?

Post completion of your house sale your lawyer should forward the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. If applicable, your lawyer should also evidence that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion requirements unique to conveyancing in Hotwells.

If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Hotwells what would it be?

It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Hotwells conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Hotwells building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Hotwells conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

The conveyancing practitioner has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Hotwells

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Hotwells conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
