Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Silvertown

Me and my wife are acquiring a flat in Silvertown. My Conveyancer is not listed on the mortgage company approved list. Is it possible for me to continue with my Silvertown conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender approved list?

One must have a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the legal work required if you take out a mortgage to buy your home. The solicitor will carry out all the appropriate legal checks on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. You may appoint a Silvertown conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. However, if the lawyer selected is not a member of the bank approved list additional fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so where your solicitor has not historically applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Silvertown?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Silvertown your solicitor will ask you place them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Normally this is called for to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is payable against the purchase price then this will be needed immediately prior to contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is needed should be transferred shortly before completion.

We decided to purchase a 2 bedroom flat in Silvertown with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works.We have a Silvertown conveyancing solicitor but The Mortgage Works advised that she’s not on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a The Mortgage Works panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a The Mortgage Works panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the The Mortgage Works solicitor panel. 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Mortgage Works
