we are a couple who are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Holmfirth with a residential mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank.We use our Holmfirth conveyancing practitioner but Lloyds TSB Bank says she’s not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Lloyds TSB Bank panel firm or keep our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Lloyds TSB Bank approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors 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 Lloyds TSB Bank

How does conveyancing in Holmfirth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Holmfirth contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because builders in Holmfirth typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Holmfirth or who has acted in the same development.
