Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Midhurst

My wife and I are planning to purchase a house in Midhurst and are in fact using a Midhurst conveyancing practice. Within the past 48 hours our lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Leeds Building Society have this morning contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Midhurst conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

Where you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is conventional 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 Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer 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 lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Midhurst lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.

We are about to exchange contracts for a ground floor flat in Midhurst. We have hit a stumbling block. Our loan offer with Lloyds TSB Bank runs out on 15/7/2026 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 17/7/2026. Can one extend the mortgage expiry date?

The person best placed to deal with your question is your conveyancer who is in a position to determine if they better off negotiating with the bank, vendor’s lawyers, selling agents or conceivably all parties taking into account the history of your transaction as of today.
