I plan on purchasing residence in Brockenhurst. My Conveyancer is not on the bank solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Brockenhurst conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?

You will need to use a conveyancing practitioner to complete the formalities if you take out a mortgage to buy your property. The conveyancing practitioner will carry out all the necessary due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One can select a Brockenhurst conveyancing practitioner of your choice. However, where the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not a member of the mortgage company approved list further fees will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the bank.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Brockenhurst. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Brockenhurst

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Brockenhurst before retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to grant a mortgage on such a home.

My work colleague mentioned that before selecting a conveyancing solicitors they must be approved by your mortgage company. I am new to the process but I have an offer in principle from Santander and I already have a family conveyancing lawyer in Brockenhurst in place. Will Halifax need an approved lawyer to be used? Does a directory of panel firms even exist so I can pick a conveyancing solicitor in Brockenhurst?

You should use a solicitor that is on the Halifax panel. Simply ring your preferred Brockenhurst conveyancing solicitor to check if they are on the Halifax panel. If they are not on the panel you have numerous options open to you here:

  • Complete the deal with your existing Brockenhurst conveyancing practitioner but Halifax will need to use a lawyer from their approved list. The net impact is additional cost together with potential delay.
  • Appoint a new lawyer to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check that they are on the Halifax conveyancing panel.
  • Appeal to your solicitor to seek to join the mortgage company panel.
