We are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in Pulborough with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Pulborough solicitor, but the lender says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel solicitors or continue with our Pulborough conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Pulborough conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

We are aiming to move home in July. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Pulborough. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your selling agent but this can only occur after the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You should tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Pulborough or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Pulborough.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Aldermore are being a right pain. The Pulborough solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Aldermore are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Pulborough accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Pulborough. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Pulborough conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to proceed with searches.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Pulborough 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
As long as the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be documented by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, find your property and get current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
