It has come to my attention via my estate agent that my Halesworth the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be sure whether this is correct?
You need to call your Halesworth 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 approved list of lawyers for your lender.
I am due to move home in February. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Halesworth. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from your estate agent however this can only happen when the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you can inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Halesworth or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Halesworth.

Clydesdale have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a house in Halesworth has been accepted, what happens next?
Your estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Clydesdale or the financial adviser and complete any relevant paperwork. Clydesdale will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to book a slot for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Clydesdale will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Halesworth.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Halesworth prior to retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold home.

Am I right to be suspicious about 3rd parties that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Halesworth conveyancing company?
As with many professional services, often referrals from relatives can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are many people with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may suggest lawyers to instruct. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to choose your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that some lenders have an approved list of lawyers you have to use for the lender related work in your transaction.
