I plan on buying a flat in Ebbw Vale. My Conveyancer has never been on on the bank approved list. Can I still appoint my Ebbw Vale conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company approved list?
Your options include
- Complete the deal with your existing Ebbw Vale property lawyer but your lender will need to instruct a property lawyer on their approved list. The net result is additional fees and likely frustration.
- Appoint a fresh solicitor to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to apply to join the bank panel
We are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Ebbw Vale and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
Your property lawyer is duty bound to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Ebbw Vale conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel?
Ebbw Vale conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Virgin Money directly.
We are aiming to move home in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Ebbw Vale. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from the estate agent but this can only happen when the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you should tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Ebbw Vale or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Ebbw Vale.
Is there a list of Coventry BS panel solicitors in Ebbw Vale on the Building Society Association’s Website?

It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Ebbw Vale bank branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Ebbw Vale conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Your property lawyer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
