I sincerely hope you can help me. My Snaresbrook solicitor is informing me me that he has toorder Snaresbrook conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Is my lawyer right?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a home loan with a lender your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Snaresbrook conveyancing searches.

About to place an offer on a leasehold apartment in Snaresbrook. The property agents advise that it is the norm for flats in Snaresbrook to have less than 75 years left on the lease. I am expecting a loan with Bank of Ireland. Will the property be mortgageable given that the lease has Seventy One years to go.

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are getting a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Bank of Ireland have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 4/8/2025 the requirements read as follows :

Yes, subject to a minimum lease term of 85 years. The unexpired lease term must be at least the mortgage term plus 45 years. See also 5.14.9

We were going to get a OIP from Barclays this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Snaresbrook solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Snaresbrook solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Snaresbrook. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an on account payment of £150. Not long after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money 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.

Intending to buy a maisonette in Snaresbrook. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds 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 Snaresbrook conveyancing practitioner is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Snaresbrook with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it may jeopardize my loan with Yorkshire Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am selling my house. My past conveyancers closed down. I am in need of a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Snaresbrook if that makes things easier.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the property agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Snaresbrook

It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is counter productive. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Snaresbrook conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
