Is the fact that my solicitor in North Yorkshire is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the North Yorkshire conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
Our son-in-law is about to exchange on a newly built flat in North Yorkshire with a home loan from Lloyds. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in North Yorkshire costs more?

This includes analysing the lease terms, communicating with the landlord concerning serving appropriate notices, procuring current service charge and management information, obtaining the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in North Yorkshire
