Is it the case that all Cullercoats solicitor firms on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Nottingham approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Many mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Cullercoats. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
My partner and I are selling our house in Cullercoats and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Cullercoats. We have lived in Cullercoats for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must check with 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)
