We instructed a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Mexborough yesterday. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs I noteI am liable for costs even if the dealdoes not proceed. Would I be best advised to use an internet conveyancing company who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Mexborough?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to cover the transactions that do not proceed. Also remember that these promotions generally do not protect you from disbursements such as Mexborough conveyancing search costs.
My fiance and I intend to purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in Mexborough with a homeloan from Nottingham Building Society.We have a Mexborough conveyancing lawyer but Nottingham Building Society says her practice is not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Nottingham Building Society panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the Nottingham Building Society approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham Building Society
Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Mexborough. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Now that you have exchanged you must hire the services of a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you will have a tight a fixed date to complete the purchase.

You need to give this to the solicitor instructed by you as soon as possible. Do make sure that you have funds in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Mexborough. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Shortly after, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose planned roadworks that may affect a commercial premises in Mexborough?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Mexborough will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Mexborough. The search result sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Mexborough.

These searches are not conducted for residential conveyancing in Mexborough.
I was recommended by three or four local selling agents in Mexborough to locate a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t offer any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
My partner and I have recently had an offer accepted on a flat and had meeting on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to choosing a property lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of solicitors then we will have to pay out a further fee of about two hundred pounds. This is because they will then have to instruct a solicitor to act on their behalf in addition to the one we select for ourselves and we are liable for their fees. I have requested HSBC to provide me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?
You should ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC previously. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Another option is to make use of our search tool and we should be able to identify a solicitor in Mexborough on the panel for HSBC.
