Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Taverham. What is the rationale as to why all Taverham conveyancers are not on all lender panels?
Banks normally restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that a firm needs to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some lenders decided to restrict the size of their panel they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no liability for the quality of conveyancing provided by any Taverham property lawyer on their panel. Property fraud was a key driver in the reduction of solicitor panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are opposing thoughts concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data via HMLR indicates that thousands of law practices only carry out less than three conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel cuts question why law firms should have the right to be listed on a conveyancing panel when it is evident that conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

It is a dozen years since I purchased my home in Taverham. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they may be archived with the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Taverham relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
I have justfound out that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Taverham for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the premises is registered to you, 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 Taverham conveyancing specialists.
Should I be suspicious that 3rd parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Taverham conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many service providers, often suggestions from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. But there are numerous parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all put forward conveyancers to retain. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to select your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that some banks specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.
My conveyancing in Taverham is set to complete next Friday, however the couple I am buying from wants to move out on the Saturday midday. Should I agree to this?
