Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Filey

Our conveyancer has identified a defect with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Filey. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must ensure that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?

Even though you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their provisions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. You and the lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.

We are buying a newly converted flat in Filey with a homeloan from National Westminster Bank.We like our Filey conveyancing practitioner but National Westminster Bank advised that her practice is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a National Westminster Bank panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a National Westminster Bank panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the National Westminster Bank approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for National Westminster Bank
