I am purchasing an apartment in Bingley. My property lawyer has never been on on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to retain my Bingley conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You will need to appoint a property lawyer to complete the legal work required if you take out a loan to buy your home. The property lawyer will conduct all the relevant due diligence on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One could appoint a Bingley conveyancer of your choice. Nevertheless, if the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not a member of the mortgage company approved list further fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so where your solicitor has not in the past applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

My a decade ago. He has been wed, widowed and in recent months got remarried. He will be marketing the property in a couple of months. I think he will simply be asked to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the solicitor but he is anxious it will delay the conveyancing. Should he appoint a property lawyer to update the Land Registry documents for the property?
You are not required to bring up to date the title for the property as long as you have the proof needed to show how the change of name resulted.
Any purchaser’s lawyer should review the registered details and requisition evidence to prove the name change for example marriage certificates.
