Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Kettering is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?
That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Kettering conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Kettering
Do not opt for the lowest Kettering conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. 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, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I am helping my aunt sell her property in Kettering. Does the solicitor arrange the energy performance certificate or should I organise this?
Following the demise of HIPs, energy performance certificates was kept a mandatory part of selling a property. An energy performance certificate must be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not a task that conveyancers normally organise. If you are using a Kettering conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established Kettering energy assessors
Is it the case that all Kettering solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the RBS approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
