I am buying a maisonette in Carmel. My lawyer has never been on on the lender approved list. Am I still permitted to use my Carmel conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company panel?
Your options include
- Carry on with your preferred Carmel property lawyer but your mortgage company will need to appoint a lawyer on their approved list. The net result is additional charges and probable frustration.
- Choose a fresh lawyer to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your solicitor to pull out all the stops to join the mortgage company conveyancing panel

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Carmel off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Nottingham. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
I have a mortgage with Barclays for my property in Carmel. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
Barclays must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor.
