We are buying a purpose built flat in Papworth Everard with a homeloan from Clydesdale.We like our Papworth Everard conveyancing solicitor but Clydesdale informed us she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Clydesdale panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Clydesdale panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Clydesdale use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, HSBC are being a right pain. The Papworth Everard solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but HSBC are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
About to purchase house in Papworth Everard. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Papworth Everard lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Papworth Everard differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Papworth Everard contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in Papworth Everard typically acquire 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 property lawyers 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 Papworth Everard or who has acted in the same development.
