Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Temple Mills is not on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Temple Mills conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I am purchasing a property in Temple Mills. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Coventry BS be concerned?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease does not satisfy these provisions.

How does conveyancing in Temple Mills differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Temple Mills approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Temple Mills typically acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Temple Mills or who has acted in the same development.

As with many service providers, often input from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold.

On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the recommendation.
