My partner and I are buying a flat in Truro. My Conveyancer is not on the lender solicitor list. Am I still permitted to appoint my Truro conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?
One will need to appoint a property lawyer to deal with the formalities when you take out a mortgage to buy your home. They will conduct all the necessary investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. You could appoint a Truro conveyancer of your choice. However, if the lawyer selected is not on the lender conveyancing panel additional costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not in the past applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
