My husband and I are intent on purchasing a ground floor flat in Lechlade. My Solicitor has never been on on the bank conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to retain my Lechlade conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You must appoint a conveyancing practitioner to complete the legal work required when you require a loan to buy your property. They will conduct all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in place. One may appoint a Lechlade property lawyer of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the property lawyer appointed is not a member of the lender conveyancing panel further fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not previously sought membership they can do so.

If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Lechlade what would it be?
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Lechlade conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Lechlade. Does the solicitor commission the energy performance certificate or it is for me to see to?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments became a compulsory element of moving house. An energy performance certificate should be to hand before the property is marketed. This is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Lechlade conveyancing lawyer they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with long established Lechlade providers
