Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Corfe Castle. I would like to know the reason why all Corfe Castle conveyancing practitioners are not on all bank panels?
Pre- 2008 most mortgage companies had an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 carried out a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the solicitors on your panel. Consequently, lenders have subsequently soughtmore data from law firms about their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Many firms have been removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the minimum amount of transactions the lenders set.
Do I have to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Corfe Castle so that I can pop in to their offices when needed.
As opposed to twenty years ago, most lenders no longer require their conveyancing panel lawyer to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to supply identification documents and there are still manifest benefits to choosing a local solicitor, in your situation a conveyancing solicitor in Corfe Castle.

Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was kept a mandatory part of selling a property. An energy assessment must be to hand in advance of the property being placed on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers normally organise.

Your conveyancer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Corfe Castle can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain works or need the permission of another owner. Many extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Planning on purchasing a house in Corfe Castle. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Corfe Castle conveyancer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
