You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Langham or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the vendor, property agent and even potentially your bank. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Langham is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose role it is to act in your best interests and to protect you.

On occasion a potential adversary may attempt to sway you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

My fiance and I are planning to purchase a three room ground floor flatin Langham with a mortgage from a lender. We wish to instruct our solicitor in Langham but our lender says she’s not approved on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our mortgage company panel solicitors or stay with our Langham solicitor and incur the extra costs for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The lender mortgage issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Langham : a mortgagee 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
