I have just been advised by my broker that my Rendlesham lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure that this is correct?
Your first step should be to contact your Rendlesham lawyer directly. You lawyer should advise you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
Some advice if I may. My Rendlesham lawyer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toconduct Rendlesham conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Nat Westapproved lawyer panel. These Rendlesham searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Rendlesham conveyancing searches.

My aunt passed away last year and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Rendlesham. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £4500. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to HSBC, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
Given you intend to re-mortgage then HSBC will require that you use a conveyancer on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the HSBC mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
How does conveyancing in Rendlesham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Rendlesham contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Rendlesham tend to purchase the site, 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 Rendlesham or who has acted in the same development.
