Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Westbourne. I would like to know the logic why all Westbourne conveyancing practitioners are not on all bank panels?
Banks normally restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some banks made a decision to reduce the size of their panel they permit to represent them. It is worth noting that lenders have no accountability for the quality of advice provided by any Westbourne conveyancing practitioner on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the key driver in the rationalisation of solicitor panels from 2008 even though there are differing assessments concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by HMLR exposes that thousands of law organisations only carry out one or two conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel pruning question why law firms should have claim to remain on a bank panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

I have todaybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Westbourne for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to see if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Westbourne conveyancing specialists.

Given that I am about to spend £400,000 on a property in Westbourne I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer about myconveyancing ahead of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
Absolutely - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor due to be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Westbourne.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a matter reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Westbourne should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
