Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Much Wenlock conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel?
Much Wenlock conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Barclays directly.
Are the BSA intent on creating a searchable register to list law firms on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Much Wenlock?
We are not aware of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a tool.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Much Wenlock before appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to issue a loan on this type of premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Much Wenlock. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Much Wenlock especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Much Wenlock.
I have been recommended by three or four local estate agents in Much Wenlock to choose a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your site over and above another?
We don’t make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
Our financial adviser has recommended their conveyancing practitioner for the conveyancing in Much Wenlock - Is it not simpler easier to just use them?
It is not always the case and you are free to instruct whichever property lawyer of your choosing for your Much Wenlock home move. The property lawyer suggested by a 3rd party adviser may not necessarily be the right conveyancer, they may suggest their preferred conveyancing firm who are based remotely. In this instance you may not have contact with your conveyancing practitioner and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain updates.
