My wife and I are hoping to buy a 3 bedroom flat in Brandesburton with a mortgage. We have a Brandesburton lawyer, but the bank says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to select one of the lender panel firms or continue with our Brandesburton solicitor and pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. We regard this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Brandesburton conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

My conveyancer has discovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Brandesburton. The seller’s lawyers have suggested defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our lawyer says that he must ensure that the mortgage company is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?

Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their provisions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the bank are the client. The appropriate lender requirements have to be complied with.

What does a local search inform me about the house my wife and I buying in Brandesburton?

The search will provide data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject areas.

I have todaybeen informed that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Brandesburton for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Brandesburton conveyancing specialists.

My step-son is embarking on her first house purchase, the home loan was agreed last week in principle. When the seller agreed the offer on the flat we rang the building society to issue the formal offer. I was shocked to learn that mortgage companies do not accept all solicitor, they must be on their panel, is this correct?

Lenders normally imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Brandesburton property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Presumably not.
