Me and my partner are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Bury St Edmunds with a mortgage. We have a Bury St Edmunds lawyer, but the mortgage company advise he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to use one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or retain our Bury St Edmunds conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. This feels very unfair; are we not able to require that the lender use our Bury St Edmunds conveyancing practitioner ?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Bury St Edmunds conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
Please help. My Bury St Edmunds solicitor is advising me that he has toconduct Bury St Edmunds conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Santandersolicitor panel. Do I not have any say here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Bury St Edmunds conveyancing searches.

I am helping my niece sell her house in Bury St Edmunds. Does the solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a required element of selling a property. An energy performance certificate must be to hand prior to the property being advertised. This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a Bury St Edmunds conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable local energy assessors
I am aiming to move property in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Bury St Edmunds. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent but this can only happen after the vendors conveyancers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you should tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Bury St Edmunds or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Bury St Edmunds.
