I am not well enough to travel far from Maida Hill. Please spell out why all Maida Hill lawyers aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?

Banks highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The elimination of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. This led to banks and building societies pruning a number of firms off their official list of approved property lawyers .

I am purchasing a property mortgage free in Maida Hill. I have resided for the previous 20 years in Maida Hill. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a home loan, then all but one or two of the Maida Hill conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to do this. One thing to consider; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it will likely be be of interest to your future buyer what the searches disclose.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Santander are being a right pain. The Maida Hill solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Santander are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

About to purchase apartment in Maida Hill. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage".

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Maida Hill postcode.
