I am expecting a mortgage with Nat West. I would like to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Irthlingborough. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

How can we tell if a Irthlingborough conveyancing solicitor on the Principality panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Irthlingborough obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Irthlingborough bank branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Irthlingborough conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
The lawyer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your lender. 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I used Arc property Solicitors a few years past for my conveyancing in Irthlingborough. Now, I need my documents however the law firm has closed. What do I do?

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Irthlingborough prior to instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to grant a mortgage on such a house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Irthlingborough. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Irthlingborough especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Irthlingborough.
My husband and I are buying a ground floor flat in Irthlingborough. When we first instructed conveyancer, we were told they were on all mainstream bank panels. Our mortgage broker contacted us just now to say that they don't seem to be on the RBS approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we simply pick a new property lawyer that is on their approved list or do we cover the costs for separate representation, with RBS appointing their own approved conveyancing practitioner.
When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is standard for the purchaser’s solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the conveyancer has to meet. Some banks now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact RBS to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on RBS's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Irthlingborough lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another property lawyer into the mix.
