We are buying a newbuild flat in Sale with a homeloan from Skipton Building Society.We would like to retain our Sale conveyancing practitioner but Skipton Building Society informed us she’s not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Skipton Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Skipton Building Society approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Skipton Building Society

Given that your lender is RBS your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to RBS where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Sale.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Sale off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Lloyds. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. 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 supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
I have been pointed in your direction by a few property agents in Sale to locate a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your services over and above another?
