we are a couple who wish to acquire a newbuild flat in Godshill with a loan from Leeds Building Society.We have a Godshill conveyancing solicitor but Leeds Building Society says his firm is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and pay for a Leeds Building Society 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 is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society
Can I be sure that the Godshill conveyancing solicitor on the RBS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Godshill getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Godshill. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £175. A couple of days later, the solicitor contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
About to purchase flat in Godshill. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Godshill conveyancing practitioner is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Godshill I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Godshill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
