My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the estate agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Glynneath
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your own,trusted Glynneath conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by HQ.
My husband and I are acquiring a ground floor flat in Glynneath. When we first instructed conveyancing practitioner, they said that they were on all major UK mortgage company panels. The mortgage broker called yesterday to say that they are not on the Virgin Money approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Do we just find a new conveyancer that is on their panel or should we cover the costs for dual representation, with Virgin Money selecting their own approved conveyancing practitioner.
Where you are acquiring a property needing a mortgage it is normal for the buyer’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the conveyancer has to fulfill. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancing practitioner should call Virgin Money and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Virgin Money's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Glynneath lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another solicitor into the equation.
