I can't travel far from Silsoe. Is there a reason why all Silsoe conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?
Pre- 2008 most banks had an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 instigated a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the lawyers on your panel. Consequently, lenders have since requiredmore information from law firms about their processes and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Thousands of law practices have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible meet the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies set.

I have paid off my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Silsoe solicitor on the Clydesdale panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nottingham are being a right pain. The Silsoe solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nottingham are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham 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.
Will my lawyer be raising questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Silsoe.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Silsoe. There are those who purchase a house in Silsoe, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Silsoe. The conventional set of information supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the seller to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may commence a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate answer. A buyer’s conveyancers should also commission an environmental search. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be made.
