I am getting a mortgage with Lloyds. I hope to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Peacehaven. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We are aiming to move house in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Peacehaven. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your property agent but this should only happen after the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Peacehaven or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Peacehaven.
My partner and I have organised the release of further monies on our mortgage from Lloyds as we want to conduct renovations to our house in Peacehaven. Are we obliged to choose a high street Peacehaven solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Lloyds do not ordinarily instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds list.
I am buying a property in Peacehaven. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease does not meet these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Peacehaven.

Should I be suspicious about estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Peacehaven conveyancing practice?
As with many professional services, often suggestions from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may recommend solicitors to retain. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your own lawyer. Don't forget that many lenders operate an approved list of solicitors you have to use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.
