I am obtaining a mortgage with Nat West. I would like to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Southwell. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Southwell. I need to find out whether they are on the National Westminster Bank conveyancing panel. Could you assist?
The first thing to do is phone your lawyer and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you should get in touch with National Westminster Bank who may be able to confirm.
I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of obstruction in Southwell house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Southwell.
Do I need to be wary that estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Southwell conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often suggestions from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are many players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may recommend solicitors to select. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most lenders have an approved list of lawyers you have to use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.
