We wish to acquire a purpose built flat in Southwell with a mortgage from Alliance & Leicester .We use our Southwell conveyancing lawyer but Alliance & Leicester advised that she’s not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Alliance & Leicester panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for a Alliance & Leicester panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Alliance & Leicester use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the Alliance & Leicester conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Alliance & Leicester

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent informed us that the owners will only move forward if we appoint their recommended lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Southwell
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your preferred Southwell conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
The property lawyers undertaking our conveyancing in Southwell has forwarded papers to review that reveal that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not registred at HM Land Regsitry?
It is a rare occurrence indeed to find property in Southwell not to be registered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Plenty of Southwell conveyancing lawyers should be familiar with this type of conveyancing but where uncertainty reigns the usual guidance nowadays is for the seller’s conveyancer to register it first and then deal with the sale conveyance - this will have a domino effect to result in a prolonged transaction.
