My wife and I are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in Broseley with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Broseley conveyancer, but the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to select one of the bank panel firms or retain our Broseley lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We regard this is unjust; can we not insist that the lender use our Broseley conveyancing practitioner ?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’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 Broseley conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
We are aiming to move property in May. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Broseley. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the property agent however this should only be done once the vendors lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you should advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Broseley or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Broseley.
is it true that all Broseley conveyancing solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be overseen by the CLC.
We had chosen conveyancing lawyers locally in Broseley on the Virgin Money solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional charge for dealing with the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Virgin Money?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Virgin Money but by your Broseley conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Virgin Money panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
