Much to our surprise we have been told by our mortgage adviser that my Danbury the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I check?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your Danbury conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
Can you suggest a Aldermore allowed Danbury conveyancing firm finish our house move within 10 days? Would it be better to use a high street Danbury conveyancer or a nationwide firm?

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would prefer to instruct a Danbury based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel solicitors where you want the "fee-free" offer. Contact the bank to see if they allow a cash alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Danbury.
I have been told by my conveyancer that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Danbury conveyancing?

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Danbury. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £200. A couple of days later, the solicitor called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Santander conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Santander panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Barclays. Is it usual for Barclays to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Danbury is approved on their conveyancing panel? Barclays have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have recentlybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Danbury for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see 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 Danbury conveyancing specialists.
