I plan on purchasing a flat in Langham. My Solicitor is not listed on the lender solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to appoint my Langham conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options include
- Complete the deal with your existing Langham conveyancing practitioner but your bank will undoubtedly retain a property lawyer on their approved panel. This will result in additional charges and probable interruption.
- Choose a new lawyer to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your solicitor to attempt to join the mortgage company panel

We're in Langham, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Nationwide , and our lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

About to purchase a new build flat in Langham. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Langham
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply a car parking plan. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
I have been recommended by a few selling agents in Langham to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
