How up to date is your search tool for Lavenham conveyancing solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel? Do HSBC send you an updated list?
Lavenham conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from HSBC directly.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Lloyds, do Lavenham solicitors face a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Lavenham building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Lavenham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the bank panel, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Clydesdale have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Lavenham has been agreed to, now what?
The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Contact Clydesdale or the financial adviser and complete any relevant paperwork. Clydesdale will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Clydesdale will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Lavenham.
The deeds to our home are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Lavenham 5 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

If duplicates can’t be located, your lawyer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the premises.
About to purchase a new build flat in Lavenham. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Developers have suggested I use a solicitor and I've received a quote from them. They are nearly £400 less expensive than my local Lavenham conveyancer. Should I use them?
Housebuilders normally have panels of conveyancers who expedite matters and who know the developer’s paperwork and lawyer. As many developers offer an inducement to use a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they demand an exchange in 28 days. The argument for not opting for the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may be unwilling to 'push' your interests at the risk of upsetting the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your high street Lavenham solicitor.
