My wife and I are buying a ground floor flat in Barking. My lawyer has never been on on the bank approved panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Barking conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You must have a property lawyer to complete the legal work required when you need a mortgage to buy your home. They will conduct all the relevant legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in order. You may select a Barking lawyer of your choosing. However, if the property lawyer appointed is not on the mortgage company conveyancing panel supplemental fees will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not historically sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
We are selling our flat in Barking. Will the solicitor have to be required to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.

How does conveyancing in Barking differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Barking approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Barking usually acquire the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Barking or who has acted in the same development.
