I am buying a maisonette in Pontardawe. My Solicitor has never been on on the bank approved panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Pontardawe conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank approved list?
Various options include
- Carry on with your preferred Pontardawe conveyancer but your bank will undoubtedly use a conveyancing practitioner on their approved panel. The net result is additional fees and probable delay.
- Get a fresh lawyer to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to do everything within their powers to get listed on the lender’s conveyancing panel
