I do hope you can assist me. My Moor Row conveyancer is assuring me that he is legally obliged toapply for Moor Row conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Lloydsapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have any say here?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Moor Row conveyancing searches.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Aldermore Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Moor Row?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
I am planning on selling our property in Moor Row and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Moor Row lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Moor Row. We have lived in Moor Row for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I am purchasing my first flat in Moor Row with a loan from Barclays . The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

They would need to be really bad to suggest diss instructing them. Has the mortgage been sent? If so you will need to make them aware of the replacement lawyer and ensure the mortgage documents are re-sent. Your new conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental costs and delays. So that should be your first question of the new lawyers.
