I am due to move property in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Monkseaton. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this page.

I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Monkseaton. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Soon after, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance 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.

I had an offer accepted on a property in Monkseaton on 4/2/2025, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Bank of Ireland and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Are Bank of Ireland entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Monkseaton.
