My IFA has requested my Upper Walthamstow solicitor’s panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have called my local Upper Walthamstow office but they don't know it.
You are best placed to get this information from your Upper Walthamstow conveyancer . Most Upper Walthamstow law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.

We decided to purchase a newbuild apartment in Upper Walthamstow with a loan from TSB.We have a Upper Walthamstow conveyancing practitioner but TSB advised that she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint a TSB panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the TSB approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for TSB
I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Upper Walthamstow. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement is primarily there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
Are all Upper Walthamstow Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel?
It is true that some lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their panels.
About to purchase house in Upper Walthamstow. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Upper Walthamstow solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel.
