I plan on acquiring residence in Eden Park. My Solicitor has never been on on the bank approved panel. Is it possible for me to retain my Eden Park conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank list of approved lawyers?
One will need to use a conveyancer to deal with the formalities when you need a loan to purchase your home. They will conduct all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in order. One could instruct a Eden Park conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. However, if the property lawyer appointed is not on the mortgage company conveyancing panel further fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not historically sought membership they should take the chance to apply.

I am helping my niece sell her property in Eden Park. Does the solicitor arrange an energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to see to?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was kept a compulsory element of moving house. An EPC should be commissioned in advance of the property being placed on the market. It is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Eden Park conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with reputable local accredited person
is it true that all Eden Park solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I am expecting a AIP from Lloyds this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Eden Park solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Eden Park solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
