I am obtaining a mortgage with Halifax. I intend to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Cowes. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would prefer to instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Cowes?
Do check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers should you accept the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the bank and ask if they offer you a cash alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Cowes.
