Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Haydon Bridge. I would like to know the understand why all Haydon Bridge conveyancing practitioners are not on all mortgage company panels?
Banks point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in lenders pruning less reputable firms off their panel of approved conveyancing practitioners .
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a searchable register to list law firms on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Haydon Bridge?
We are not aware of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a register.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Haydon Bridge and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Haydon Bridge. Having lived in Haydon Bridge for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

Why is it not possible to complete my conveyancing in Haydon Bridge on Good Friday?
Because on completion the purchase price will pass between the banks of the purchaser and seller's property lawyer and at present this can only take place on a business day. It is not possible to complete on a weekend either.
