I plan on purchasing residence in Croston. My Conveyancer is not on the mortgage company solicitor list. Am I still permitted to use my Croston conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender list of approved lawyers?
One must instruct a conveyancing practitioner to complete the formalities when you require a mortgage to purchase your home. The lawyer will carry out all the essential due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You could appoint a Croston solicitor of your choosing. However, where the lawyer selected is not on the mortgage company solicitor panel further charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not previously sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

-
If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

The benefit of a high street Croston conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Croston know how is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and in the main were happy that must trump using an unfamiliar Croston conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Croston based.
