Me and my fiance are buying residence in Little Hampton. My lawyer is not listed on the bank conveyancing panel. Am I still permitted to appoint my Little Hampton conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

They will conduct all the relevant investigations on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One could select a Little Hampton conveyancer of your choice. Nevertheless, if the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not on the mortgage company solicitor panel additional fees will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so where your solicitor has not previously sought membership they can do so.

What is the distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Little Hampton?
Conveyancing - in Little Hampton or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are purchasing and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to fix the defects prior to you move in.
