My wife and I are intent on acquiring a leasehold flat in Tonyrefail. My Solicitor has never been on on the bank solicitor list. Is it possible for me to retain my Tonyrefail conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender list of approved lawyers?
One must instruct a conveyancer to complete the legal work required if you need a mortgage to buy your home. They will carry out all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You can appoint a Tonyrefail conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the solicitor selected is not a member of the lender solicitor panel additional fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your lawyer has not historically sought membership they should take the chance to apply.
