I have just been advised by my mortgage broker that my Pevensey the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure that this is correct?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your Pevensey lawyer directly. You lawyer should advise you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.
I do hope you can assist me. My Pevensey solicitor is advising me that she is duty bound toconduct Pevensey conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Lloydssolicitor panel. These Pevensey searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Pevensey conveyancing searches.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Pevensey. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Pevensey?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Pevensey. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
We are aiming to move house in May. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Pevensey. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your selling agent but this can only happen once the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Pevensey or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Pevensey.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Pevensey with a loan from National Westminster Bank. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it will jeopardize my mortgage with National Westminster Bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Pevensey. Before diving in I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Pevensey - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
