My lawyer in Corston has never been on on the The Royal Bank of Scotland Approved Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor even though they are not on the The Royal Bank of Scotland list of approved lawyers?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your existing Corston lawyers but The Royal Bank of Scotland will need to instruct a conveyancer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional total legal charges and cause frustration.
- Find a new solicitor to act in the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the The Royal Bank of Scotland panel

The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
