Me and my fiance are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Freshford with a mortgage. We like our Freshford lawyer, however the lender says she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to use one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Freshford solicitor and pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This feels very unfair; are we not able to insist that the lender use our Freshford property lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’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. Another option that might be available is for your Freshford conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

The type of Freshford conveyancing searches depends entirely on the premises, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your knowledge of the locality and risks, your general attitude to risk. What is important is that you adequately comprehend what information the searches could give you. You may then decide if you personally think you need that information. Where you are unclear, ask the conveyancing practitioner to offer guidance.
At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Freshford and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Freshford you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we recommend provide a countrywide conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Freshford)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Freshford registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies.

I'm buying my first flat in Freshford with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
