I am buying a maisonette in Harwich. My property lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company approved list. Can I still appoint my Harwich conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company panel?
You have a couple of alternatives available to you here
- Complete the deal with your preferred Harwich solicitor but your mortgage company will no doubt retain a lawyer on their approved list. The net result is additional fees and probable delay.
- Choose a new solicitor to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to pull out all the stops to get accepted on the mortgage company conveyancing panel

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Harwich
It is highly unlikely the owners are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Harwich conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
