My fiance and I are purchasing a newbuild flat in Aldborough Hatch with a loan from Virgin Money.We like our Aldborough Hatch conveyancing lawyer but Virgin Money says he's not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Virgin Money panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Virgin Money use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Virgin Money approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower 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 Virgin Money
We were going to get a DIP from Coventry BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Aldborough Hatch solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Aldborough Hatch solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Aldborough Hatch off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
I have instructed a Aldborough Hatch conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Nationwide will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nationwide will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Aldborough Hatch postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Aldborough Hatch.

Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that most mortgage providers have an approved list of law firms you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your house move.
