My mortgage broker has asked me for my Kemp Town law firm’s panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have tried my local Kemp Town office but they cant find it on their system.
Have you tried speaking to your Kemp Town lawyer about this?. They keep a central record lender panel numbers.
Last April we completed a house move in Kemp Town. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Kemp Town?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Kemp Town. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner answers a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers is inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Kemp Town.
I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Kemp Town. My lender is Nationwide Building Society
Nationwide Building Society have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 9/7/2025, the requirements read as follows :
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Kemp Town. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Kemp Town?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Kemp Town. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
Can you point me to a directory of Virgin Money panel conveyancers in Kemp Town on the Building Society Association’s Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings available on the web. If you are looking for a Kemp Town lawyer on the Virgin Money please make the most of our tool.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Yorkshire BS. Is it usual for Yorkshire BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Kemp Town is approved on their conveyancing panel? Yorkshire BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Kemp Town prior to retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not issue a mortgage on such a home.
