I am purchasing a flat in Rush Green. My property lawyer is not on the lender approved list. Is it possible for me to use my Rush Green conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You will need to appoint a conveyancing practitioner to complete the formalities when you need a loan to buy your property. The conveyancing practitioner will conduct all the appropriate legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You can instruct a Rush Green property lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, if the conveyancer appointed is not on the lender approved list further fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so where your solicitor has not historically sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

But there are numerous people with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all recommend conveyancers to appoint. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that some banks have an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.
