Finally the sale completed on my house in Totland last January but the buyer keeps SMS messaging every few hours complaining that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?
Following your disposal your lawyer should deliver the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Where appropriate, your conveyancer should also evidence that the mortgage has been redeemed to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Totland.
My husband and I are hoping to buy a newbuild flat in Totland with a homeloan from Barclays Direct.We would like to retain our Totland conveyancing practitioner but Barclays Direct says he's not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Barclays Direct panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barclays Direct use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Barclays Direct solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct

I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however my bank will not permit this. Should they have been notified?
Any lawyer listed on a mortgage company conveyancing panel is required to inform the mortgage company of any amendments to the purchase figure. In the event that you prohibit your solicitor to disclose the reduction to your bank then they would need to discontinue representing you and the bank.
