I plan on purchasing a maisonette in Brackley. My Conveyancer has never been on on the mortgage company approved panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Brackley conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company panel?
You must appoint a lawyer to complete the formalities if you require a mortgage to purchase your home. The property lawyer will conduct all the relevant investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. One could instruct a Brackley conveyancing practitioner of your choice. Nevertheless, where the lawyer appointed is not a member of the bank conveyancing panel further charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not in the past applied for membership they should do so.

The conventional set of property information forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the vendor to find out whether the property has ever been flooded.
