Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Thornton

I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Halifax. I intend to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Thornton. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

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

The Thornton conveyancing firm handling our Thornton conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action right?

Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions 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 you.

Me and my partner are buying a apartment in Thornton. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we have to send money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

Is it the case that all Thornton CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the RBS conveyancing panel?

A selection of banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their panels.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Thornton. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £200. Soon after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
