I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Sipson for our house purchase. Our broker has since advised us that our mortgage lenders Birmingham Midshires won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
Pre- 2008 most banks had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Sipson conveyancing firms would have been on most mortgage company panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more information from law firms relating to their operations and the individuals who work for them as well as establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of transactions. Many Sipson 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. Sipson is one of the many locations where the conveyancers we list are are authorised to act for Birmingham Midshires.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Sipson. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an on account payment of £150. Soon after, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nationwide panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Planning on purchasing a house in Sipson. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Sipson property lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Sipson on 10/10/2024, valuation was booked five days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Bank of Ireland and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Are Bank of Ireland entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I've found a house that appears to meet my requirements, at a great figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have subsequently been informed that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold.

Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Sipson ?
Most houses in Sipson are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process.

First you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a tenant you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions such as requiring the freeholder’spermission to conduct changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the upkeep of the estate where the property is part of an estate. Your lawyer will advise you fully on all the issues.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can a leaseholder make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Sipson conveyancing firm to help?
in cases where there is a missing freeholder or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to calculate the price.
