Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Wanborough is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Wanborough conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
We are buying a flat in Wanborough. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we will need to deposit funds into their account. What is the protection 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.
I am aiming to move property in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Wanborough. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your estate agent but this should only happen once the vendors solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. Subsequently you can inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Wanborough or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Wanborough.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Co-operative, do Wanborough conveyancing practitioners have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
Should commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that could impact a commercial property in Wanborough?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Wanborough will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Wanborough. The search result sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Wanborough.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Wanborough it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

These searches are not carried out for residential conveyancing in Wanborough.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Wanborough I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wanborough suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I’m about to sell my basement apartment in Wanborough. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have just received a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the invoice as normal given that all rents and maintenance invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
