My wife and I are buying an apartment in Oakleigh Park. My property lawyer has never been on on the bank conveyancing list. Is it possible for me to retain my Oakleigh Park conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank panel?
You will need to instruct a conveyancing practitioner to complete the formalities when you take out a mortgage to buy your property. They will conduct all the appropriate investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One could instruct a Oakleigh Park solicitor of your choosing. However, where the solicitor appointed is not on the lender approved list further costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so where your solicitor has not historically applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
We are purchasing a newly built duplex in Oakleigh Park and my solicitor is advising me that she is duty bound to the bank to reveal incentives from the seller. I am on a tight deadline to sign contracts and I have no desire to delay the conveyancing. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

There are only 72 years remaining on my lease in Oakleigh Park. I need to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What options are available to me?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to track down the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent would be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document to be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer both on investigating the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Oakleigh Park.

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the lender solicitor panel.
