Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stokesley

I am getting a mortgage with Halifax. My intention is to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Stokesley. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?

The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

The Stokesley conveyancing firm handling our Stokesley conveyancing has spotted a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he must check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action legitimate?

Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

is it true that all Stokesley solicitor practices on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers based in Stokesley on the Bank of Ireland solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a separate sum for dealing with the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Bank of Ireland but by your Stokesley solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
