We are buying a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Ryhope who is on the Nottingham solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Nottingham . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Ryhope.
we are a couple who are purchasing a newbuild apartment in Ryhope with a mortgage from Birmingham Midshires.We have a Ryhope conveyancing lawyer but Birmingham Midshires informed us he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Birmingham Midshires panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Birmingham Midshires panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Birmingham Midshires use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Birmingham Midshires solicitor panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Birmingham Midshires

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

National Westminster Bank, Skipton Building Society, and Platform Home Loans Ltd all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.
