My Solicitor in Budleigh Salterton has never been on on the Yorkshire Building Society Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Yorkshire Building Society list of approved lawyers?

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Virgin Money. Budleigh Salterton conveyancing practitioners were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Virgin Money?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Virgin Money completed the valuation? Have you advised Virgin Money as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Budleigh Salterton. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
How does conveyancing in Budleigh Salterton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Budleigh Salterton contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Budleigh Salterton usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Budleigh Salterton or who has acted in the same development.
