My fiance and I intend to purchase a purpose built flat in Hessle with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works.We like our Hessle conveyancing solicitor but The Mortgage Works says her practice is not listed on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a The Mortgage Works panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and pay for a The Mortgage Works panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the The Mortgage Works approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Mortgage Works
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Hessle and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Hessle. We have lived in Hessle for three years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
The deeds to my house can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Hessle 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware exactly where to locate all the suitable paperwork so you can buy or sell your house without a hitch. If duplicates can’t be located, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the premises.
I am selling my house. My past solicitors closed down. I am in need of a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Hessle if that makes a difference.

My cousin has recommend that I instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Hessle. Do I follow his advice?
There are no two ways about it it’s preferable to find a conveyancing practitioner is to seek referrals from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer that you are are thinking of instructing.
