Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Hartburn is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume 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 contact the Hartburn conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

We had chosen solicitors located in Hartburn on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional fee for dealing with the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Clydesdale?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Clydesdale but by your Hartburn conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Clydesdale panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.
Can I be sure that the Hartburn conveyancing solicitor on the RBS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Hartburn obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.
I am purchasing a property and the conveyancer has mentioned Chancel Repair to which the property could be obligated to contribute to because it falls into the area of such a church. She has mentioned insurance. Is this strictly necessary for conveyancing in Hartburn
Unless a previous purchase of the house took place post 12 October 2013 you may expect solicitors handling conveyancing in Hartburn to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
I'm buying my first flat in Hartburn benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
