I plan on purchasing a flat in Tiverton. My Solicitor has never been on on the bank approved list. Can I still retain my Tiverton conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank panel?
You have a couple of options available to you here
- Complete the deal with your preferred Tiverton property lawyer but your lender will undoubtedly retain a solicitor on their approved panel. This will result in additional cost together with potential frustration.
- Appoint a fresh lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your solicitor to seek to join the mortgage company panel

Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Tiverton you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Tiverton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Intending to buy a flat in Tiverton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Tiverton property lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by HSBC. Is it usual for HSBC to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Tiverton is approved on their conveyancing panel? HSBC have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

How does conveyancing in Tiverton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Tiverton approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Tiverton usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Tiverton or who has acted in the same development.
