Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Littleport

My wife and I are planning to buy a home in Littleport and are in fact using a Littleport conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our property lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Bank of Ireland have this morning contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Littleport lawyer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Please explain?

Where you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your bank and see 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 the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Littleport lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

When it comes to lenders such as Co-operative, do Littleport solicitors have to pay a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?

My husband and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Kent Reliance as we intend to carry out alterations to our property in Littleport. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Littleport solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Kent Reliance don't usually instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Kent Reliance list.

An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
