I am not in a position to travel far from South Oxhey. Is there a reason why all South Oxhey lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?
As inequitable as it may seem for banks to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or lawyer’s point of view, the other side of the coin is that lending institutions are becoming ever more anxious and feel it imperative to protect them against mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern lenders have consolidated their conveyancing panel to a manageable size.
Me and my partner are purchasing a property in South Oxhey. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we have to put funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?

I currently have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in South Oxhey. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Virgin Money?
Your original mortgage agreement with Virgin Money will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Virgin Money will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my South Oxhey bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My South Oxhey conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the solicitor is on the bank panel, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
