Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Pratt's Bottom

I am considering applying for a Yorkshire BS mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Pratt's Bottom with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire BS ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, but Yorkshire BS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

I am due to move home in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Pratt's Bottom. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across this site.

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your property agent however this should only take place once the vendors solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. You should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Pratt's Bottom or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Pratt's Bottom.

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be governed by the CLC.

I am expecting a DIP from Co-operative this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Pratt's Bottom solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
