I am getting a mortgage offer from Halifax. I hope to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Shepperton. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Barclays. Shepperton conveyancing practitioners have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Barclays?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Barclays completed the valuation? Have you informed Barclays as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Barclays conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Shepperton bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Shepperton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the lawyer is on the bank panel, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Lloyds are being pedantic. The Shepperton solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Lloyds are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds 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.
3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Shepperton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
We are 3 weeks into a residential purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the local agent to handle our conveyancing in Shepperton. I am am starting to be dissatisfied with the level of service. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
They would have to be really poor in order to consider diss instructing them. Has your mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you must make them aware of the new contact details and have the loan are issued to the new lawyers. Your solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added expenses and delays. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers.
