Is there a reason to instruct a Avonmouth conveyancing solicitors firm when national alternatives are so much cheaper?

Our solicitor has identified a a problem with the lease for the flat we are buying in Avonmouth. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our property lawyer has advised that he must check that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the bank can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your conveyancing practitioner will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
My fiance and I wish to acquire a newly converted flat in Avonmouth with a mortgage from Yorkshire Building Society.We have a Avonmouth conveyancing lawyer but Yorkshire Building Society advised that she’s not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Yorkshire Building Society panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Yorkshire Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire Building Society
We had appointed solicitors locally in Avonmouth on the TSB solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further fee for dealing with the TSB mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by TSB?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by TSB but by your Avonmouth conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the TSB panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
My fiancee and I are at the point of viewing houses in Avonmouth and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Lloyds.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Lloyds, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Avonmouth is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
