is it true that all Staffordshire solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

About to purchase maisonette in Staffordshire. 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 HSBC 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 Staffordshire conveyancer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
I have todayfound out that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Staffordshire for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Staffordshire conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Staffordshire differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Staffordshire contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Staffordshire usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Staffordshire or who has acted in the same development.

We don’t give any financial incentive for sending work our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
