We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Lee On The Solent for our house purchase. Our broker has since advised us that our mortgage lenders Birmingham Midshires won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?

Lenders normally restrict either the category or the volume of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some have limited the number of firms they permit to represent them. Be aware that Birmingham Midshires have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Birmingham Midshires Conveyancer Panel.

I am planning to move house in July. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Lee On The Solent. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your page.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent but this can only be done once the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over.

I am expecting a OIP from Santander this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Lee On The Solent. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Shortly after, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Kent Reliance panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
