Is the fact that my conveyancer in Leytonstone is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?
That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume 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 Leytonstone conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Leytonstone is more expensive?
The conveyancing costs for a leasehold property in Leytonstone is inevitably greater as compared to a freehold residence. This is due to the extra work necessary in dealing with the landlord and management company to collate the evidence concerning whether the rent and maintenance charges have been paid and whether there are any significant expenditure in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
My home in Leytonstone is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will my property lawyer have to be required to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the HSBC conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently in recent years.
