We are hoping to acquire a 1 bedroom apartment in Chapel En Le Frith with a mortgage. We like our Chapel En Le Frith conveyancer, but the bank says she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have no option but to select one of the lender panel solicitors or retain our Chapel En Le Frith conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. We feel that this is inequitable; can we not require that the bank use our Chapel En Le Frith property lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’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 Chapel En Le Frith conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers.

In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of solicitor practices they allow to represent them. You should note that Santander have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Santander Conveyancer Panel.

As a leasehold owner I am liable for a service charge for my appartment in Chapel En Le Frith. Due to redundancy and personal issues I fell into arrears with payments. The managing agents agreed a settlement schedule but there is still approximately £3000 currently outstanding.
I now wish to sell and I am concerned this could jeopardize the sale if I have to discharge the arrears first. I'd like to sell up and subsequently pay them back with the completion monies - is this practicable?
You should check with the solicitor dealing with your Chapel En Le Frith conveyancing but one option may be to arrange for the debt to be passed to the buyers. The sale price payable would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then deal with the outstanding monies once they are the owners.
