We are buying a 3 bedroom apartment in Baildon with a mortgage. We have a Baildon lawyer, but the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have no option but to use one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or continue with our Baildon lawyer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We regard this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, 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. A further alternative is for your Baildon conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

We are due to move home in July. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Baildon. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the selling agent but this should only take place after the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you should inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Baildon or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Baildon.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Baildon. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Baildon accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Baildon. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with RBS?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Baildon conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your lawyer is on the RBS approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many purchasers would apply for a home loan with RBS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to move forward with searches.
