My Conveyancer in Sleaford is not on the HSBC Bank Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my family solicitor even though they are excluded from the HSBC Bank approved list?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your existing Sleaford solicitors but HSBC Bank will need to retain a solicitor on their panel. This will result in additional total legal fees and cause frustration.
- Get an alternative solicitor to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are on the HSBC Bank panel

Do I need chancel insurance when buying a residence in Sleaford? or Apparently there is historic law that could mean that homeowners living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards maintenance to the chancel within the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Sleaford?
Unless a prior purchase of the property took place after 12 October 2013 you may assume that solicitors delivering conveyancing in Sleaford to continue to propose a a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
How does conveyancing in Sleaford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Sleaford approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Sleaford tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Sleaford or who has acted in the same development.
