Should lawyers ask for an advanced payment when it comes to conveyancing in Stanwick?
If you are buying a property in Stanwick your solicitor will ask you to provide them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. When the deposit is payable against the total price then this should be needed shortly prior to contracts are exchanged. Any further balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a online directory to list solicitors on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Stanwick?
We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a search facility.
There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Stanwick but how do I know who I should use?
Do not opt for the cheapest Stanwick conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Nottingham are being a right pain. The Stanwick solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance 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.
My offer was accepted on a house in Stanwick on 28/10/2024, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Lloyds and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Lloyds to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Stanwick 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware precisely where to look for all the suitable paperwork so you can purchase or sell your property without any difficulty. If duplicates are not available, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on the property.

The Land Registry are legally obliged to note price paid information on the official title for domestic properties countrywide which includes properties in Stanwick. The register of ownership is an open document, so the Land Registry would be breaking the law excluded specific properties such as your property in Stanwick.
In essence you can ask HM Land Registry to withhold the amount paid entry yet the answer would be a No.
