My partner and I are intent on acquiring property in Oakhill. My lawyer has never been on on the bank solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my Oakhill conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender panel?

Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not in the past applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office.

The buyer’s conveyancers may also conduct an enviro search. This should disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be conducted.
