My property lawyer in Baildon has never been on on the Britannia Conveyancing Panel. Can I still continue with my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Britannia panel?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Baildon lawyers but Britannia will need to use a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional total legal fees as well as cause frustration.
- Choose a new lawyer to act in the purchase, remembering to check they are on the Britannia panel
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a ground floor flat in Baildon. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Baildon?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
Does a directory service exist listing Barclays panel solicitors in Baildon on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

We previously chose solicitors based in Baildon on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate sum for the legal aspects of the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Leeds Building Society?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Leeds Building Society but by your Baildon conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
