My wife and I are purchasing a flat in Barton le Willows. My lawyer is not on the mortgage company solicitor list. Am I still permitted to appoint my Barton le Willows conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank panel?
One must appoint a solicitor to complete the legal work required when you take out a loan to purchase your property. They will carry out all the essential due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. You may select a Barton le Willows conveyancer of your choice. However, if the lawyer selected is not a member of the lender approved list further costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so if your solicitor has not previously applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Barton le Willows
It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Barton le Willows conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
