In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, but Bank of Ireland would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Craven Arms. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?

Now that you are for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you now have to instruct a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of priority as you are faced with a pending deadline in which to complete the purchase.

I'm the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Craven Arms. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. many banks would take a practical view as this provision primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

I have been recommended by a number of property agents in Craven Arms to find a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your site ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to make any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I yesterday become aware that one of the directors of the law firm acting on the purchase conveyancing in Craven Arms is is the brother of the seller. Is this allowed?

Provided there is no conflict of interest this should be fine. Where you are requiring mortgage finance then the bank may have a say as many lenders have specific requirements concerning this. For example for Nationwide Building Society as of 8/11/2024, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

Yes, provided that a different fee earner or partner of no less standing acts for us, there is no conflict of interest and Law Society guidelines are followed.
