My partner and I have arranged the release of further funds on our mortgage from Virgin Money as we wish to carry out renovations to our house in Messingham. Do we need to choose a local Messingham solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Virgin Money would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel 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 Virgin Money panel.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Messingham. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Messingham. My mortgage broker suggested a solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £175. A couple of days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me to say that they were not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Coventry BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
