Is the fact that my solicitor in Leicestershire is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Leicestershire conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
Are you able to recommend a allowed Leicestershire conveyancing conveyancer finish our house move within two weeks? Would it be better to use a local Leicestershire practice or a national conveyancer?

Should commercial conveyancing searches disclose planned roadworks that may impact a commercial property in Leicestershire?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Leicestershire will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Leicestershire. The search result sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Leicestershire.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Leicestershire it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could result in delays to Leicestershire commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Leicestershire.
How does conveyancing in Leicestershire differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Leicestershire contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Leicestershire tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Leicestershire or who has acted in the same development.
