My financial adviser has requested my Norton lawyer’ panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have called my local Norton office but they cant find it on their system.

Last March we completed a house move in Norton. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Norton?
The query is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Norton. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner completes a form referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers ends up being misleading, you could possibly take legal action against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Norton.
When will exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Norton and do I need to be at the solicitors office?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Norton you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we recommend offer a national conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the property agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Norton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
