My home in Irlam and Cadishead is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does the conveyancer need to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently currently.
I am buying my first flat in Irlam and Cadishead with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
