I plan on purchasing a ground floor flat in Redditch. My Solicitor is not listed on the bank solicitor list. Can I still use my Redditch conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender panel?
You must use a property lawyer to deal with the legal work required if you take out a loan to buy your home. The lawyer will conduct all the necessary due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One may appoint a Redditch lawyer of your choosing. However, if the conveyancer appointed is not on the lender solicitor panel supplemental costs will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not previously sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
I am refinancing my house in Redditch, does my lawyer need to be on the Co-operative Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, but Co-operative would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
