I am not in a position to travel far from Ledbury. What is the rationale as to why all Ledbury conveyancers aren't automatically on all lender panels?

Mortgage Companies ordinarily restrict either the nature or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such criteria being that a firm needs to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some banks for instance HSBC decided to limit the number of practices they permit to represent them. You should note that lenders have no liability for the standard of advice given by any Ledbury conveyancing practitioner on their approved list. Property fraud was a key driver in the culling of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there are conflicting assessments concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics published by the Land Registry indicates that thousands of conveyancing practices only transact one or two conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to remain on a conveyancing panel when clearly property law is not their speciality?

Are the BSA intent on creating a search tool with a view to to identify solicitors on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Ledbury?

We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a register.

I have recentlyfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Ledbury for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out 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 Ledbury conveyancing specialists.

Am in the process of buying my 1st house in Ledbury. Conveyancing lawyer already chosen. The broker suggested that a survey is not needed as the house was only built in 1997.

The bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises was built more than a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could suffice. The report should highlight any obvious problems and recommend additional investigation where relevant. If there are any signs of material issues get a full structural survey.
