I can't travel far from Uttoxeter. I would like to know the understand why all Uttoxeter property lawyers aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It led to lenders culling a number of firms from their books of approved conveyancers .
My conveyancer has discovered a defect with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Uttoxeter. The other side have put forward title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor says that he must check that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the bank are the client. Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the lender can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your property lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
We are purchasing a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Uttoxeter who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?

We wish to acquire a newly converted apartment in Uttoxeter with a mortgage from Birmingham Midshires.We like our Uttoxeter conveyancing practitioner but Birmingham Midshires advised that she’s not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Birmingham Midshires panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Birmingham Midshires panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Birmingham Midshires approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 Birmingham Midshires

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Uttoxeter will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers expend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Uttoxeter.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Uttoxeter. Before diving in I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Uttoxeter - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
