I can't travel far from Batley. What is the rationale as to why all Batley solicitors aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Banks normally restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing firms on their panel. Frequent examples of such criteria being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some banks decided to limit the number of firms they permit to represent them. You should note that mortgage companies have no accountability for the quality of conveyancing provided by any Batley solicitor on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the key driver in the culling of solicitor panels from 2008 notwithstanding that there are conflicting opinions about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics published by the Land Registry reveal that thousands of conveyancing practices only transact less than three conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel consolidation ask why law firms deserve the right to be on a bank panel when clearly conveyancing is not their speciality?
Our Batley solicitor has spotted a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action right?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. 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.
My colleague advised me that where I am purchasing in Batley I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Batley 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title official documentation to prove you are the owner of your registered land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
