Is the fact that my solicitor in Edgware is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Edgware conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
We are about to exchange contracts for a property in Edgware. We encountered a snag. The loan offer with Chelsea Building Society expires on 11/12/2026 but the vendors are putting forward a completion date of 15/12/2026. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage expiry date?
The person best placed to address this concern is your solicitors who will assess whether he or she is better off negotiating with the lender, seller’s representatives, selling agents or possibly all parties based on the history of your transaction to date.

Should our solicitor be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Edgware.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Edgware. Plenty of people will acquire a property in Edgware, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Edgware. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the owner to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. If the property has been flooded in past and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim stemming from an misleading reply. A purchaser’s conveyancers should also carry out an environmental report. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be conducted.
