I am due to exchange buying a house in Parkstone but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the current proprietors of £2k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet Lloyds will not agree to this. Why were they notified?
Any solicitor that is on a Lloyds conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform Lloyds of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to report the price change to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Parkstone.

What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Parkstone
We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Parkstone conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
Are all Parkstone Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel?
It is true that some lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their panels.
We were going to get a OIP from Santander this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Parkstone solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Parkstone solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
I need some expedited conveyancing in Parkstone as I am under pressure to exchange contracts within one month. Thankfully I do not need a mortgage. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
If.Given you are not getting a mortgage you have the choice not to have searches carried out although no conveyancer would suggest that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Parkstone the following are examples of issues that can crop up and adversely impact future mortgageability: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Charges, Outstanding Grants, Railway Schemes,...
Am I best advised to go with a Parkstone conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am buying? We have a good friend who can carry out the legal work but her office is 200miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Parkstone conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and they were happy that must trump using an unfamiliar Parkstone conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being local.
