Are all Lound Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel?
It is true that some banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Lound. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office.

The estate agent will want to be informed of your lawyer's details (make sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Coventry BS or the broker and finish off any relevant documentation. Coventry BS will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Coventry BS will send the offer to you and your lawyers.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Lound is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Lound are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Lound you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lound may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Me and my partner have just had an offer accepted on our first house in Lound, and are about to get solicitors instructed. I have used the different comparison based websites and the fee estimates are from all over the country. Is it essential to have a Lound solicitor local to your potential new home? I am content to do all the communicating electronically, but I am thinking at some stage we may be required to physically go into the solicitor's office to sign papers?
The property lawyer does not need to be in Lound, but choosing local means that you have the option to go in if required, by way of example, if a signature is immediately necessary. In addition, a Lound solicitor have established relationships with local agents and (if the vendor has chosen a local solicitor) with them, which will help smooth the process.
