My mortgage broker has asked me for my Chafford Hundred law firm’s panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have e-mailed my local Chafford Hundred office but they have not got back to me yet.
Have you tried speaking to your Chafford Hundred solicitor about this?. Most Chafford Hundred law practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
The Chafford Hundred conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in Chafford Hundred have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel and my previous Chafford Hundred lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers should be in a position to assist.
I have been told by my lawyer that missing deeds insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Chafford Hundred?
The right level of missing deeds indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

I had an offer accepted on a house in Chafford Hundred on 30/8/2024, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Principality and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Principality 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 Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have justbecome aware that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Chafford Hundred for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the premises 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 Chafford Hundred conveyancing specialists.
