I am acquiring a ground floor flat in Manor Park. My lawyer has never been on on the mortgage company solicitor list. Am I still permitted to use my Manor Park conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender approved list?
One must appoint a lawyer to complete the formalities when you require a mortgage to buy your property. The lawyer will conduct all the essential legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. You can appoint a Manor Park conveyancer of your choice. However, if the lawyer selected is not on the lender conveyancing panel further costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not in the past applied for membership they should do so.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Manor Park. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Manor Park?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Manor Park. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
Intending to buy a flat in Manor Park. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Manor Park property lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
