It has come to my attention via my financial adviser that my Nuthall the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. How can I be sure whether this is correct?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your Nuthall lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Nuthall conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Nuthall? Why is this being asked of me?
You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Nuthall. However these days you can not proceed with any conveyancing deal if you have not handing over evidence of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of ID it needs to be both the paper section and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other.
Verification of the source of money is mandated in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancing solicitor will need to retain this information on file. Your Nuthall conveyancing lawyer will require evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any monies from you into their client account and they may also ask further questions concerning the origin of funds.
I can see plenty of here regarding conveyancing in Nuthall but can you isolate your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Nuthall
Do not opt for the cheapest Nuthall conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
My offer was accepted on an apartment in Nuthall on 17/2/2025, valuation was booked 3 days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so all that was missing 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?
A lender would not issue a mortgage 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.

My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Nuthall. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Clydesdale. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Nuthall and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
How does conveyancing in Nuthall differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Nuthall contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Nuthall usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Nuthall or who has acted in the same development.
