What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Hastings
There are two types of lawyers who can carry out conveyancing in Hastings namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors.

It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Hastings bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Hastings conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The lawyer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Coventry BS are being difficult. The Hastings solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are the main reason for hinderance in Hastings house deals. Is there any truth in this?

Local searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Hastings.
Am I right to be concerned that brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a web based conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Hastings conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often referrals from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all put forward solicitors to choose. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there might be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to choose your own conveyancer. Don't forget that the majority of lenders operate an approved list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
