My IFA has asked me for my Sherston lawyer’ panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have called my local Sherston office but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Sherston conveyancer . Most Sherston law practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
Please could you suggest a Chelsea Building Society allowed Sherston conveyancing practice that can complete within a short deadline? Am I best advised to unstruct a high street Sherston solicitor or an internet conveyancer?

Visit two or three law practices and ask to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a costs illustration. Discuss your time frames together with your reasons and ask for a commitment on your deadline. Select the one that you trust.

I have been pointed in your direction by two or three local property agents in Sherston to find a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your site ahead of another?
We refuse to give any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
