Is the fact that my solicitor in Poplar is not on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Poplar conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

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 Poplar. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Poplar?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Poplar conveyancing lawyers have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Leeds Building Society?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Leeds Building Society completed the survey? Have you informed Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Poplar. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Barclays be concerned?
As your lender is Barclays your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Barclays where a lease does not meet these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Poplar.
How does conveyancing in Poplar differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Poplar come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Poplar 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 conveyancers 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 Poplar or who has acted in the same development.
