I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. My intention is to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in The Borough. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We see that you have a post code search directory listing solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I retain them for our conveyancing in The Borough?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in The Borough.
About to place a bid on a leasehold flat in The Borough. The estate agents assure me that it is normal for flats in The Borough to have less than 75 years remaining. I am taking out a loan with Accord Mortgages. Will the property be mortgageable given that the lease has 70 years remaining.

What does commercial conveyancing in The Borough cover?
The Borough conveyancing for business premises covers a broad array of guidance, given by regulated solicitors, relating to business property. By way of example, this type of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the assignment of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial loans and the termination of leases.
Am I better off to appoint a The Borough conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can conduct the legal work but they are based a couple of hundredkilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local The Borough conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local The Borough know how is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were happy that should surpass using an unfamiliar The Borough conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being based in the area.
