I am getting a mortgage offer from Nat West. I intend to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Lyndhurst. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Lyndhurst but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the current proprietors of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Principality will not permit this. Should they have been informed?
Any conveyancer being on the Principality approved list is duty bound to disclose to Principality of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Lyndhurst.
My house in Lyndhurst is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will the solicitor have to be required to be on the Santander conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Santander 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 specifications fairly frequently in recent years.
My colleague recommended that where I am purchasing in Lyndhurst I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Lyndhurst Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Lyndhurst.
The deeds to our property can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Lyndhurst 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware precisely where to look for all the suitable documentation so you can buy or dispose of your property without a hitch. Where duplicates are not available, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your property.
