My wife and I are acquiring property in Llanharan. My Conveyancer is not listed on the lender solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to retain my Llanharan conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company panel?
One will need to use a conveyancing practitioner to complete the legal work required if you need a mortgage to purchase your property. The conveyancing practitioner will carry out all the necessary investigations on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One could appoint a Llanharan property lawyer of your choosing. However, where the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the bank approved list further fees will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not previously sought membership they should do so.

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Llanharan. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
