Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Rushden

My wife and I are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Rushden with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Rushden solicitor, however the bank advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to appoint one of the lender panel firms or keep our Rushden lawyer and pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. We consider that this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders 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. Another option that might be available is for your Rushden conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Even where you use a solicitor outside Rushden you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rushden may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 property.

I'm converting the mortgage on my current house to a buy to let mortgage with Nationwide Building Society and I will use the rest of the raised equity towards another property.

My husband and I are 3 weeks into a leasehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the high street agent to carry out the conveyancing in Rushden. I am not happy. Could you help me find new conveyancers?

A solicitor would need to be very poor to suggest changing them. Has the loan offer been sent? In the event that it has you need to make them aware of the replacement solicitor and ensure the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your new conveyancer should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid escalating fees and delays. That should be your first question of the new solicitors. Our search tool will help you find a bank approved lawyer for your home move in Rushden
