Is the fact that my solicitor in Market Drayton is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% 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 lawyer 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 Market Drayton conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
We are aiming to move house in September. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Market Drayton. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent but this should only happen after the previous owners lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. After that you will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Market Drayton or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Market Drayton.
My partner and I have arranged the release of further funds on our mortgage from RBS as we intend to carry out alterations to our home in Market Drayton. Do we need to select a high street Market Drayton solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
RBS would not normally require firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS conveyancing panel.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Market Drayton. I have a mortgage agreed with HSBC. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

Flying freeholds in Market Drayton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Market Drayton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Market Drayton may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
