I plan on buying a ground floor flat in Barking. My property lawyer is not listed on the bank approved panel. Can I still continue with my Barking conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
One will need to have a solicitor to deal with the legal work required if you require a mortgage to purchase your home. The conveyancer will carry out all the essential due diligence on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in order. You could select a Barking conveyancing practitioner of your choice. However, if the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not a member of the lender approved list additional costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so if your lawyer has not previously applied for membership they can do so.
