Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Abersychan

My wife and I are planning to purchase a home in Abersychan and are in fact using a Abersychan conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our solicitor has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Clydesdale have this evening contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Abersychan lawyer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

Where you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent 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 Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Abersychan lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

My fiance and I are purchasing a three bedroom first floor flatin Abersychan with a mortgage from a bank. We wish to instruct our conveyancer in Abersychan yet our mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our mortgage company panel firms or keep our Abersychan solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Abersychan lawyer?

No, not really. The lender home loan issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Abersychan : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
