My mortgage broker requires my Primrose Hill law firm’s panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have called my local Primrose Hill office but they have not got back to me yet.
You are best placed to get this information from your Primrose Hill conveyancer . Most Primrose Hill law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a house in Primrose Hill and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The property lawyer is legally required to clarify with lender to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Primrose Hill
It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Primrose Hill conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
We are aiming to move house in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Primrose Hill. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the property agent but this can only happen once the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. After that you can tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Primrose Hill or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Primrose Hill.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Primrose Hill conveyancing practitioner having checked that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Primrose Hill postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Primrose Hill.
We are downsizing from our property in Primrose Hill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Primrose Hill. Having lived in Primrose Hill for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 sickness)
Me and my brother own a renovated Edwardian property in Primrose Hill. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and TSB. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Primrose Hill and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
