Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Monken Hadley who acted for me 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from Nationwide Building Society. I am now being quoted double. Should I hunt for a cheaper online conveyancer?
The estimate fees appear a bit high. Where you are willing to spend time scrutinising costs you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £100 plus VAT.

I am considering applying for a TSB mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Monken Hadley with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for TSB ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but TSB will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
Are all Monken Hadley Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing list of approved practices?
Some major lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of firms.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Kent Reliance. I assume I don't need a Monken Hadley property lawyer on the Kent Reliance panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Kent Reliance mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Kent Reliance mortgage from the register. Kent Reliance, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Kent Reliance has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Kent Reliance has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nationwide are being problematic. The Monken Hadley solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nationwide are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide 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.
