My Conveyancer in Audenshaw is not on the Platform Home Loans Ltd Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Platform Home Loans Ltd list of approved lawyers?

We had appointed conveyancing lawyers located in Audenshaw on the Principality solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional sum for the legal aspects of the Principality mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Principality?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Principality but by your Audenshaw solicitor. Some firms on the Principality panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Co-operative as we wish to conduct alterations to our house in Audenshaw. Do we need to appoint a local Audenshaw solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Co-operative do not ordinarily instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative list.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Audenshaw conveyancing practitioners were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Santander?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Santander done the survey? Have you advised Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
We are downsizing from our house in Audenshaw and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Audenshaw conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Audenshaw. Having lived in Audenshaw for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Audenshaw differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Audenshaw approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Audenshaw usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Audenshaw or who has acted in the same development.
