Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Killamarsh is not identified on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 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 lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Killamarsh conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
I am buying a newly built apartment in Killamarsh and my conveyancer is telling me that she is duty bound to the bank to disclose incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to sign contracts and I have no desire to delay deal. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Killamarsh. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Killamarsh?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
Please help - my lawyer advises that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Killamarsh?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Barclays and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Santander. Is it usual for Santander to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Killamarsh is approved on their conveyancing panel? Santander have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
