My wife and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom apartment in Whitmore with a mortgage. We have a Whitmore conveyancer, but the lender says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no option but to appoint one of the bank panel firms or continue with our Whitmore lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We consider that this is unjust; can we not require that the lender use our Whitmore conveyancing practitioner ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms 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. Another option that might be available is for your Whitmore conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
At what point will exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Whitmore and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Whitmore you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the important part. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Whitmore)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I am planning to acquire a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Whitmore who is on the HSBC Bank solicitor. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for HSBC Bank in certain locations such as Whitmore. We dont recommend any particular firm.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Whitmore
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Whitmore conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Whitmore. Conveyancing and Santander mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in Whitmore who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Whitmore conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

My conveyancing in Whitmore is completing next Friday, however the owners I am buying off has asked to vacate on the Saturday afternoon. Should I accept such a plan?
If you need a mortgage then your property lawyer will insist that the premises arevacant on Friday - the lender will demand it.
