When it comes to lenders such as Principality, do Burntwood conveyancing practitioners incur a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

We expect to receive a AIP from Nottingham 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 Nottingham recommend any Burntwood solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

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

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Yorkshire BS are being problematic. The Burntwood solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Yorkshire BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS 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 have justfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Burntwood for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Burntwood conveyancing specialists.

How do I search for a Burntwood solicitor on the Coventry Building Society conveyancing panel? I have a car and am willing to travel upto 25miles to meet the solicitor.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for freehold conveyancing in Burntwood. I happened to land on a web site which looks to be the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all this stuff completed via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

We are soon to complete buying a house in Burntwood but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the current proprietors of five thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet the bank will not agree to this. Should they have been approached?

Your property lawyer listed on the bank approved list is required to inform the mortgage company of any amendments to the purchase figure. In the event that you were to refuse your property lawyer to report the price change to your bank then they would need to refrain from acting for you and the bank.
