My Conveyancer in Brownhills has never been on on the The Mortgage Works Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the The Mortgage Works approved list?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Brownhills solicitors but The Mortgage Works will need to retain a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the overall legal charges and result in frustration.
- Find a new solicitor to act in the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are on the The Mortgage Works panel
What can a local search inform me concerning the property we're buying in Brownhills?

I'm buying a new build house in Brownhills with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my solicitor about this deal as it may affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Brownhills in advance of appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may not give a mortgage on such a home.

We are FTB’s just having agreed a price on a property in Brownhills, and need to get solicitors instructed. I have used the various rating based websites and the results are from all across the the UK. Is it advisable to have a Brownhills property lawyer local to our prospective new home? We are content to do everything electronically, but I assume at some point we will need to attend the solicitor's office to sign contracts?
There is no requirement to physically visit the office of your solicitor, they can send any relevant documents to you, which you can sign and return. Many buyers and sellers choose to use a locally based solicitor, but it's by no means essential for conveyancing in Brownhills.
