We are purchasing a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Keyworth who is on the Virgin Money approved panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Virgin Money . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Keyworth.
My Solicitor in Keyworth is not listed on the TSB Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the TSB approved list?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Keyworth solicitors but TSB will need to instruct a solicitor on their panel. This will result in additional overall conveyancing charges and result in frustration.
- Choose an alternative lawyer to to deal with the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are on the TSB panel
We previously selected conveyancers based in Keyworth on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional charge for dealing with the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Kent Reliance?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your Keyworth conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Kent Reliance panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I have paid off my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Keyworth conveyancing practitioner on the TSB panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your TSB 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 TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Keyworth. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the number one cause of hinderance in Keyworth conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Keyworth.
We are a fortnight into a leasehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the selling agent to handle our conveyancing in Keyworth. We are not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
A lawyer would have to be very bad to suggest replacing them. Has the mortgage offer been generated? In the event that it has you need to make them aware of the new contact details and ensure the loan are re-sent. Your new conveyancer should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid added fees and delays. That should be your starting point.
