I was recommended by numerous estate agents in Chelmsley Wood to find a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your site over a competitor’s?

We don’t give any referral fee for directing people our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

We are purchasing a four room first floor flatin Chelmsley Wood with a loan from a lender. We like our conveyancer in Chelmsley Wood yet our mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our bank panel solicitors or stay with our Chelmsley Wood conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our lender. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The lender 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. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Chelmsley Wood : 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
