Is the fact that my solicitor in Mousehole is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Mousehole conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
As someone not used to conveyancing in Mousehole what is the number one tip you can give me for the legal transfer of property in Mousehole
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Mousehole or throughout Cornwall is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, estate agent and sometimes the lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Mousehole should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
There is a worrying creep in the "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process taking so long. We recommend that you should always trust your conveyancer ahead of all other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.
My fiance and I intend to purchase a purpose built apartment in Mousehole with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society.We have a Mousehole conveyancing solicitor but Skipton Building Society informed us he's not listed on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Skipton Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Skipton Building Society
