My fiancee and I are purchasing our first home. Our conveyancer has texted usto check if we wish to order additional conveyancing searches. Frankly we have no idea as to what's appropriate for conveyancing in Tickhill
The extent of Tickhill conveyancing searches should be dictated entirely on the property, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your overall appetite to risk. What matters is that you properly comprehend what information each search could supply. You may then decide if you consider that you need that information. If in doubt, ask your conveyancing practitioner to recommend.
My fiance and I are hoping to buy a newly converted apartment in Tickhill with a loan from Virgin Money.We use our Tickhill conveyancing lawyer but Virgin Money says his firm is not listed on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Virgin Money panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Virgin Money panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Virgin Money use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Virgin Money
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Tickhill. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Tickhill bank branch on a couple of occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Tickhill conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the bank panel, they must follow the CML 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Clydesdale. Is it usual for Clydesdale to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Tickhill is approved on their conveyancing panel? Clydesdale have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

If so you need to inform them of the replacement lawyer and have the mortgage documents are re-issued.

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the mortgage company approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
