We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Principality as we intend to conduct alterations to our property in Plymouth. Do we need to select a high street Plymouth solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Plymouth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS 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 Plymouth lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

I had an offer accepted on a house in Plymouth on 11/2/2026, valuation was booked 4 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nationwide and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

We are selling our home in Plymouth and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Plymouth. We have lived in Plymouth for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please supply a car parking plan.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Plymouth before appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders tend not issue a loan on this type of premises.
