I plan on buying a flat in Redcar. My lawyer is not on the bank solicitor list. Is it possible for me to appoint my Redcar conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?
One must use a lawyer to complete the legal work required when you require a mortgage to buy your property. The conveyancer will carry out all the relevant legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You could select a Redcar lawyer of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the property lawyer appointed is not a member of the bank solicitor panel additional fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not in the past applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Redcar with the intention of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Redcar can be avoided if you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ representatives. A minority of Redcar leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should ensure that you hold the original share certificate. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate can be a lengthy process and frustrates many a Redcar conveyancing transaction. If a reissued share is needed, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled.
