Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chinnor

My fiance and I are hoping to purchase a house in Chinnor and are in fact using a Chinnor conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our property lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Yorkshire Building Society have this morning contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Chinnor lawyer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is usual for the purchasers' lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Chinnor solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Chinnor I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease.
