Is it the case that all Arundel solicitor firms on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. The majority of mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

We expect to receive a OIP from Clydesdale this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Arundel solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Arundel solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.

At last I have had an offer on a flat in Arundel accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Arundel. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Barclays?

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Arundel conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some buyers would apply for a home loan with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Arundel.
