I am in the market for a reasonably priced conveyancer. Should I go for for a nationwide conveyancer or a local Childwall conveyancing solicitor?

Generally conveyancing practitioners in your location will have good relationships with your local authority, which can assist with the Childwall conveyancing searches that your conveyancer will need to carry out. It can only be a plus if they have strong relationships with the Local Land Registry Office your area Childwall, other property lawyers in the location and Childwall property agents.

Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Childwall. My lender is Chelsea Building Society

Can I be sure that the Childwall conveyancing solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Childwall seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer conducting your transaction.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a Childwall conveyancing practitioner on the Skipton panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Skipton mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Coventry BS are being pedantic. The Childwall solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry 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 am expecting to complete on the purchase a property in Childwall but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed recompense from the current proprietors of £2k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but my mortgage company will not permit this. Why were they involved?

The lawyer listed on the bank conveyancing panel is required to inform the lender of any amendments to the purchase price. In the event that you did not allow your property lawyer to disclose the price change to your lender then they would have no choice but to refrain from acting for you and the lender.
