Examples of recent questions relating to the Lloyds TSB Scotland Solicitor Panel from members of the public

I need to swap lawyers as my lawyer is not on the Lloyds TSB Scotland panel of conveyancing solicitors. Is it practical to instruct different lawyers?
If you haven't yet instructed a solicitor to do anything for you and have just received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer you're considering.
We are approaching an exchange and my mum and dad having transferred the 10% deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender Lloyds TSB Scotland. Apparently, being on the Lloyds TSB Scotland conveyancing panel and acting on their behalf he must inform Lloyds TSB Scotland if the balance of the mortgage advance is not just from me. I advised the bank about my parent’s contribution when I applied for the mortgage so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?
Your lawyer is obliged to check with Lloyds TSB Scotland to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to Lloyds TSB Scotland if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Your search tool is useful but there are many lawyers listed near Manchester on the Lloyds TSB Scotland conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a specific firm on the Lloyds TSB Scotland approved panel?
We do not recommend specific firms as the right firm for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with local knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. We recommend that you speak to 3 or 4 lawyers listed before you make your choice..
My conveyancers in London have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with Lloyds TSB Scotland. Is it case that being on the Lloyds TSB Scotland conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the Lloyds TSB Scotland Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting Lloyds TSB Scotland directly.
Do conveyancing lawyers on the Lloyds TSB Scotland conveyancing panel work on a no sale no fee basis?
On the whole there are no requirements by lenders for their firms to operate on a no-sale-no-fee basis. There a small number of lenders who operate a very restricted conveyancing panel managed by a third party company (often termed in the industry as a ‘gatekeeper’). That third party may impose certain conditions such as non-sale-no fee on the panel firms. If you require this as a condition of your conveyancing then you should check with the conveyancing firm that this is part of their service
Can I register a complaint to Lloyds TSB Scotland about the lawyers being on the Lloyds TSB Scotland conveyancing panel?
There is little point in complaining directly to Lloyds TSB Scotland. Every solicitor firm and conveyancer must have a complaints procedure. You can get information from the solicitor’s or conveyancer’s website or ask at their office. They must tell you about it if you ask.

The Legal Ombudsman will make sure that your complaint is properly dealt with by the solicitor. It can also advise you how to complain.

If a licensed conveyancer does not have a complaints procedure or will not tell you about it, contact the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC), which will make sure that your complaint is properly dealt with by the conveyancer. Please see below for more information.

My ex -wife’s name is on the Lloyds TSB Scotland mortgage of my property but not on the land registry. The apartment was transferred to me on our divorce many years ago by way of a sealed court order. Does my ex still have a say on the sale even though the land registry showing the property in my name alone? Will I be required to take her name of the Lloyds TSB Scotland mortgage in order to sell?
In terms of the Lloyds TSB Scotland mortgage, it is unusual that your ex-wife’s name remains on the mortgage but not on the title. It is conceivable that this is an oversight on the part of your conveyancers to ensure that her name was removed or even an administrative error on the part of Lloyds TSB Scotland in failing to update their data. In any event, it should cause difficulty providing her name no longer appears on the Land Registry title and you have a court order ordering that the property is transferred to you.
