We wanted to use a property lawyer in Trimdon for our home move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Mortgage Companies on the whole restrict either the type or the amount of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, some have limited the number of firms they permit to act for them. Be aware that have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are differing opinions regarding the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry reveal that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Trimdon only execute a couple conveyances per annum.
I am being told by my solicitor that lack of right of way insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Trimdon conveyancing?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between and . Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
Is it correct that all Trimdon CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the conveyancing list of approved solicitors?
Some major lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their panels.
When it comes to lenders such as , do Trimdon incur a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
We are selling our property in Trimdon and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Trimdon conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Trimdon. Having lived in Trimdon for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
