Me and my partner are buying a flat in Claydon. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we have to put money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Principality are being pedantic. The Claydon solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Claydon on 20/3/2024, valuation was booked five days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Bank of Ireland and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Myself and my fiance have recently had an offer agreed on a apartment and had an appointment on Wednesday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to choosing a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved list of lawyers then we will be subject to an an extra charge of about two hundred pounds. This is because they would then have to appoint a property lawyer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we appoint on our behalf and we are liable for their invoice. I have requested the Post Office to furnish me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?

Ask the Post Office what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for the Post Office previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with the Post Office. Another option is to utilise our search tool and we should be able to find you a conveyancing practitioner in Claydon on the approved list for the Post Office.
