Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chipping Norton

My husband and I are hoping to buy a property in Chipping Norton and are in fact using a Chipping Norton conveyancing practice. Within the past 48 hours our property lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Britannia have this evening contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Chipping Norton conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent 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 bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Chipping Norton lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

My Chipping Norton conveyancer has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer says that he needs to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance right?

Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
