As a first time buyer what is the most important piece of guidance you can impart regarding purchase conveyancing in Preston Park?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Preston Park or throughout East Sussex is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, property agent and even potentially the lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Preston Park is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary may attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is against your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
My husband and I are hoping to buy a purpose built apartment in Preston Park with a residential mortgage from TSB.We use our Preston Park conveyancing solicitor but TSB advised that he's not on their "panel". It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a TSB panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the TSB approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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 TSB
