I plan on acquiring residence in Cambridge Heath. My Solicitor is not listed on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Can I still retain my Cambridge Heath conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?

Various options include

• Complete the deal with your existing Cambridge Heath lawyer but your bank will undoubtedly retain a property lawyer on their approved panel. The net result is additional fees and potential interruption.
• Appoint a fresh solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
• Appeal to your solicitor to apply to join the mortgage company panel

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

I was recommended by a number of selling agents in Cambridge Heath to find a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers rather than a competitor’s?

We refuse to make any commission for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
