I am acquiring residence in Malden Rushett. My Solicitor is not on the bank solicitor panel. Can I still retain my Malden Rushett conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank approved list?
Various options include
- Complete the deal with your chosen Malden Rushett property lawyer but your mortgage company will undoubtedly appoint a property lawyer from their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional cost and probable frustration.
- Appoint a fresh lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your solicitor to pull out all the stops to join the mortgage company panel of solicitors
We're in Malden Rushett, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Nationwide , and our solicitor 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 property lawyer 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.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Malden Rushett 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
You no longer need to have the physical official documentation to evidence that you own the land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Malden Rushett is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Myself and my wife have recently had an offer agreed on a house and had meeting on Monday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to choosing a property lawyer that if they are not on their approved panel of lawyers then we will be subject to an a further fee of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to select a conveyancer to act on their behalf as well as the one we appoint for ourselves and we are liable for their invoice. I have asked the Post Office to send me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?
You can enquire of the Post Office what their criteria for panel membership is for a solicitor.Then ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for the Post Office in the past. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with the Post Office. Another option is to use our search facility and we may be able to find you a property lawyer in Malden Rushett on the approved list for the Post Office.
