Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Aberporth

My wife and I are hoping to buy a home in Aberporth and are in fact using a Aberporth conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our solicitor has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Skipton Building Society have this evening contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Aberporth conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. What do we do from here?

Where you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Aberporth solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
