I am considering applying for a Leeds Building Society mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Brighouse and Rastrick with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, but Leeds Building Society would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Lloyds. Brighouse and Rastrick conveyancing lawyers have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Lloyds?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Lloyds done the survey? Have you informed Lloyds as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Brighouse and Rastrick bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Brighouse and Rastrick conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the bank approved list, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
