I have just been advised by my estate agent that my Swanland the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I be certain if this is indeed the case?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your Swanland conveyancer. You lawyer should advise you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Swanland is more expensive?
The conveyancing fees on a leasehold property in Swanland is often higher when contrasted to a freehold transaction. This is due to the additional work required in communicating with the freeholder and management company to obtain information concerning whether the rent and service charges have been discharged and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
Is there a list of Coventry BS panel conveyancers in Swanland on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
No. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings available online. Where you are in need of a Swanland conveyancer on the Coventry BS please use our tool.
My partner and I are spending time looking at flats in Swanland and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a mortgage with Co-operative.
It would be wise to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Swanland. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A couple of days later, the property lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Swanland?

An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
Our conveyancing in Swanland completes next Friday, however the people I am purchasing from wishes to move out 24 hours later at noon. Should I accept this?
In situations where you need a mortgage then your conveyancing practitioner will insist that you have vacant possession on Friday - the lender will insist on it.
