I can't travel far from Stamford Hill. I would like to know the reason why all Stamford Hill conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?

Lenders normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such criteria being that the practice must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some lenders decided to restrict the size of their panel they permit to represent them.

Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I'm selling a bungalow in Stamford Hill. I can find my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't locate my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?

Not all staff in the company must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
