My husband and I are planning to purchase a 2 bedroom apartment in Goole with a mortgage. We have a Goole conveyancer, however the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel firms or keep our Goole conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. We regard this is unjust; can we not require that the mortgage company use our Goole solicitor ?
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. A further alternative is for your Goole conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Goole conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the TSB conveyancing panel?
Goole conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from TSB directly.
We're in Goole, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Virgin Money , and our lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
