I am acquiring a flat in Eye. My Conveyancer has never been on on the mortgage company approved panel. Can I still appoint my Eye conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender panel?
One will need to appoint a lawyer to deal with the formalities if you require a mortgage to buy your property. They will conduct all the essential investigations on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. You could instruct a Eye conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the lender conveyancing panel additional charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so where your solicitor has not in the past applied for membership they can do so.
