I am obtaining a mortgage with Nat West. My intention is to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Dingle. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
How up to date is your search tool for Dingle conveyancing solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel? Do HSBC send you an updated list?
Dingle conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from HSBC directly.
We are hoping to buy a purpose built flat in Dingle with a homeloan from The Mortgage Works.We like our Dingle conveyancing solicitor but The Mortgage Works advised that she’s not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a The Mortgage Works panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that The Mortgage Works use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the The Mortgage Works conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Mortgage Works
How does conveyancing in Dingle differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Dingle come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Dingle usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Dingle or who has acted in the same development.
