Is the fact that my conveyancer in Manor Park is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable 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. If you are concerned you should simply call the Manor Park conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Manor Park you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we recommend supply a countrywide conveyancing service and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Manor Park)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

My 20yr old son is embarking on her first house purchase, he had his mortgage in principle. One the offer was accepted on apartment we called the mortgage institution to issue the formal offer. We were disappointed to discover that banks do not accept all property lawyer, they must be on their panel, is this right?
Banks normally imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Manor Park property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
