The quote issued of £575 plus disbursements has surprised me as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s just a bog-standard refinance.

My Solicitor in Maulden is not on the Birmingham Midshires Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Birmingham Midshires panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

- Find an alternative practitioner to act in the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are Convince your conveyancer to do everything within their powers to join the Birmingham Midshires conveyancing panel
I am due to move home in April. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Maulden. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent but this should only occur when the sellers conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. After that you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Maulden or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Maulden.
Does a directory service exist listing Principality panel conveyancers in Maulden on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Maulden accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Maulden. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Principality?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Maulden conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Concerning the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Principality and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to move forward with searches.

My husband and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Maulden. When we first instructed solicitor, they assured us that they were on all mainstream mortgage company panels. The mortgage broker emailed today to advise that they don't appear to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Should we just choose a different property lawyer that is on their approved list or do we cover the costs for separate representation, with Leeds Building Society appointing their own preferred solicitor.
If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is normal for the purchaser’s lawyers to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a property lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the solicitor has to meet. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact Leeds Building Society to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Leeds Building Society's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Maulden lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another conveyancing practitioner into the equation.
