Much to our surprise we have been advised by our estate agent that my Brook Green property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your Brook Green lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Brook Green for our house move. Our broker informed us that our bank Nottingham Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?

I am due to move house in October. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Brook Green. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across your site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your estate agent but this can only take place once the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Brook Green or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Brook Green.
We previously chose conveyancers locally in Brook Green on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Aldermore?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Brook Green lawyer. Some firms on the Aldermore panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Brook Green conveyancing practitioners were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Leeds Building Society?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Leeds Building Society conducted the survey? Have you informed Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I require quick conveyancing in Brook Green as I have an ultimatum to sign on the dotted line in less than one month. A mortgage is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

With lots of history conveyancing in Brook Green the following are examples of issues that can arise and adversely impact future saleability: Enforcement Actions, Outstanding Fees, Overdue Grants, Unadopted Roads,...
I'm refinancing my existing house to a BTL loan with Nationwide Building Society and I will use the ballance of the raised equity towards further house. The location we are looking at is Brook Green.
