I am buying an apartment in Goodrich. My lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company approved list. Can I still use my Goodrich conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank approved list?
One must use a property lawyer to deal with the formalities if you require a loan to buy your home. The property lawyer will conduct all the appropriate investigations on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. You can select a Goodrich property lawyer of your choice. However, if the solicitor appointed is not on the mortgage company approved list additional charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so where your lawyer has not in the past applied for membership they can do so.

I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Goodrich building society branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Goodrich conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the solicitor is on the lender panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
