I plan on buying a flat in Selsey. My property lawyer is not listed on the lender solicitor panel. Can I still appoint my Selsey conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender approved list?

- Appoint a fresh solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your property lawyer to attempt to join the mortgage company panel
Can conveyancing in Selsey to be done in less than 3 weeks?
In the event that you are under time constraints for your conveyancing we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local connections and insight. It is possible that they may have handled otherhouses in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Selsey conveyancing firm. In addition, check that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is understood that 18% of Selsey conveyancing deals are delayed or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the transaction being frustrated by an average of 21 days. It is said that this issue impacts in the region of 100,000 home moves annually. Almost all Selsey conveyancing firms can not act for certain banks so do check as early as possible.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Selsey? What am I being asked for?
Selsey conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers throughout the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the identity of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to produce two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Utility Bill no older than three months).
Proof of source of monies is also necessary under the money laundering statutes as lawyers are required to check that the monies you are utilising to buy a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase monies if you are buying mortgage free) has originated from an acceptable source (such as employment savings) and is not the proceeds of illegitimate activity.
My husband and I are buying a newbuild apartment in Selsey with a residential mortgage from Virgin Money.We like our Selsey conveyancing solicitor but Virgin Money says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Virgin Money panel firm or keep our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Virgin Money

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Selsey
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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.
