Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Staindrop

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Staindrop is not listed on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?

That would most likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Staindrop conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

My husband and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Staindrop and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?

Your conveyancing practitioner is obliged to check with the bank to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
