Me and my partner are acquiring a maisonette in Somersham. My property lawyer is not on the lender conveyancing panel. Is it possible for me to appoint my Somersham conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company approved list?
Various options include
- Carry on with your chosen Somersham conveyancer but your lender will need to retain a property lawyer on their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees together with likely delay.
- Get a new solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to do everything within their powers to get listed on the lender’s conveyancing panel
We are buying a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Somersham who is on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Somersham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Somersham lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Somersham. Having lived in Somersham for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

Am I best advised to appoint a Somersham conveyancing lawyer based in the location that I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can deal with the legal work but they are based 300miles away.
The benefit of a local Somersham conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign documents, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and they were content that must surpass using an unfamiliar Somersham conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
