I plan on acquiring a leasehold flat in Tarporley. My Solicitor has never been on on the lender approved panel. Is it possible for me to retain my Tarporley conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You must appoint a conveyancer to deal with the legal work required if you require a loan to buy your home. The property lawyer will carry out all the essential due diligence on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in order. One could instruct a Tarporley lawyer of your choosing. However, where the solicitor appointed is not a member of the bank solicitor panel additional charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not previously sought membership they can do so.
Can you help? My Tarporley lawyer is assuring me that he is legally obliged toapply for Tarporley conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyapproved lawyer panel. Is my solicitor right?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a mortgage company your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Tarporley conveyancing searches.

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease.

If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
