My IFA has requested my Wallingford law firm’s panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have tried my local Wallingford branch but they don't know it.
Have you tried contacting your Wallingford lawyer about this?. Most Wallingford conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
Do I have to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Wallingford so that I can attend their offices if necessary.
Whereas this was necessary ten years ago, the vast majority mortgage companies no longer oblige their conveyancing panel lawyer to witness the mortgagors signature. You will still be obliged to provide identification documents and there are still distinct advantages to instructing a locally based ayer, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Wallingford.
We are aiming to move house in May. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Wallingford. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your selling agent but this should only occur once the vendors lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. After that you can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Wallingford or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Wallingford.
My partner and I are spending time looking at houses in Wallingford and I am about to put in an offer. Is it wise to have a solicitor on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance.
It would be advisable to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. As you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
My offer was accepted on an apartment in Wallingford on 31/12/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to RBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I used Arc property Solicitors several years past for my conveyancing in Wallingford. I now require my papers but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?
Do contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to assist in tracking down your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555.

I'm buying a new build house in Wallingford with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it will put at risk my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
