My partner and I are intent on purchasing a leasehold flat in Peterston Super Ely. My Solicitor is not listed on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my Peterston Super Ely conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Various options include
- Complete the purchase with your existing Peterston Super Ely property lawyer but your lender will undoubtedly retain a lawyer from their approved list. The net result is additional fees together with probable delay.
- Appoint a fresh solicitor to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your solicitor to apply to join the mortgage company panel
When does exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Peterston Super Ely and do I need to attend the conveyancers office?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Peterston Super Ely you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Peterston Super Ely)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Peterston Super Ely 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender 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 bank solicitor panel.
