It has come to my attention via my financial adviser that my Woodhall Spa property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. How can I be sure that this is correct?
The first thing you need to do is to call your Woodhall Spa lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
The Woodhall Spa conveyancing firm handling our Woodhall Spa conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor has advised that he needs to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance legitimate?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
We are selling our house in Woodhall Spa. Will the lawyer have to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.

We are four weeks into a residential purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the local agent to perform conveyancing in Woodhall Spa. I am am starting to be disappointed with the quality of service. Can you help me find new conveyancers?
A solicitor would have to be very bad to suggest changing them. Has the mortgage offer been generated? In the event that it has you will need to advise them of the new contact details and get the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your new conveyancer needs to be on the lenders panel to avoid escalating costs and delays. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

Builders have suggested I use a property lawyer and I've obtained an estimate from them. They are nearly £300 less expensive than my local Woodhall Spa lawyer. What's the catch?
Developers normally have panels of conveyancing practitioners who are quick and who know the developer’s contract and property lawyer. As many developers offer an inducement to use their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder will not put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they demand an exchange within a tight time frame. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested property lawyer is that they may be reluctant to 'push' your interests for fear of alienating the sellers. If you worry that this may be the case you should stick with your high street Woodhall Spa solicitor.
