Me and my partner are about to complete on the purchase of a property in Kearsley but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the owner of six thousand pounds by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however HSBC will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?
Any conveyancing practitioner that is on the HSBC approved list is duty bound to advise HSBC of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to HSBC then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, HSBC and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Kearsley.
I need some fast conveyancing in Kearsley as I am under pressure to sign on the dotted line inside 3 weeks. A mortgage is not required. Is it possible to escape the need for conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
As you are not obtaining a mortgage you have the choice not to do searches although no solicitor would suggest that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Kearsley the following are instances of issues that can appear and adversely impact the marketability of the property: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Charges, Overdue Grants, Railway Schemes,...

No doubt the ideal way to find a conveyancing solicitor is to have guidance from friends or family who have used the solicitor you're considering.
My 20yr old son is about to join the property ladder, the home loan was agreed last week in principle. One the offer was accepted on house we contacted the mortgage company to issue the formal offer. I was shocked to discover that mortgage lenders do not accept all property lawyer, they need to be on their approved list, is this right?
Banks normally imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Kearsley solicitor on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Presumably not.
