My fiance and I are purchasing an apartment in Ruabon. My property lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to continue with my Ruabon conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank approved list?
You have a couple of choices open to you here
- Proceed with your chosen Ruabon conveyancer but your lender will need to use a solicitor on their approved panel. This will result in additional fees together with likely delay.
- Choose a fresh conveyancing practitioner to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancing practitioner to seek to join the bank panel
