My wife and I are about to exchange buying a property in Treforest but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor in the sum of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however Leeds Building Society are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Any property lawyer being on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is required to advise Leeds Building Society of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to disclose the reduction to Leeds Building Society then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Leeds Building Society and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Treforest.
we are a couple who intend to purchase a newly converted flat in Treforest with a homeloan from The Royal Bank of Scotland.We use our Treforest conveyancing solicitor but The Royal Bank of Scotland says his firm is not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that The Royal Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the The Royal Bank of Scotland approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland
