Me and my fiance are purchasing a 3 bedroom apartment in Dulverton with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Dulverton solicitor, but the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to select one of the bank panel firms or retain our Dulverton lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. We consider that this is inequitable; are we not able to insist that the bank use our Dulverton conveyancing practitioner ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders 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. A further alternative is for your Dulverton conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
We just had an offer accepted to purchase with Coventry BS. We have called around locally yet cant to find a Dulverton conveyancing firm on the Coventry BS approved list. Could you help?

There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Dulverton but how do I know who I should use?
It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest Dulverton conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
We are planning to move home in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Dulverton. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the selling agent however this should only be done once the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. You should advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Dulverton or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Dulverton.
How can we know in advance if a Dulverton conveyancing solicitor on the UBS panel is any good?

You should be aware that where the lease has fewer than 80 years it will affect the salability of the apartment. Check with your lender that they are happy with residual term of the lease. A short lease means that you will most likely have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have owned the property for 24 months before you are entitled to extend the lease. It is important to be aware if redecorating or some other significant cost is due shortly to be shared amongst the tenants and may well materially impact the level of the service charges or necessitate a specific invoice. This question is important as a) areas could result in problems in the building as the communal areas may start to deteriorate where repairs remain unpaid b) if the leasehold owners have an issue with the managing agents you will want to have full disclosure
