I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Royton for our house purchase. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our mortgage company Coventry Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

Pre- 2008 most banks had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Royton conveyancing firms would have been on many mortgage company panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more information from law firms regarding their operations and the individuals who work for them as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of transactions. Many Royton conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Royton is amongst the numerous areas where the conveyancers we list are on the panel for Coventry Building Society.

I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require chancel insurance when acquiring a property in Royton? or Apparently there is historic law that could mean that homeowners living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for repairs to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Royton?

Unless a previous purchase of the house completed after 12 October 2013 you may expect conveyancing practitioners conducting conveyancing in Royton to remain recommending a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.

I was pointed in your direction by a few selling agents in Royton to get a quote from a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your services rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to make any referral fee for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I have been Googling for Royton online conveyancing estimates. Can I be sure that all the Royton law firms that are listed on your directory are on the lender conveyancing panel?

The law firms on our directory have advised us that they are on the lender panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the bank panel. To date we have not been informed by either a mortgage company or a member of the public that the data about a specific Royton conveyancing solicitor being on the bank conveyancing panel is incorrect.
