Me and my wife are buying a ground floor flat in Tunstall. My Conveyancer is not listed on the bank solicitor list. Can I still appoint my Tunstall conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender panel?
One will need to use a conveyancer to complete the formalities when you take out a loan to purchase your home. They will carry out all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One may appoint a Tunstall conveyancer of your choice. However, if the lawyer appointed is not on the lender approved list further fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not historically sought membership they should do so.

As far as conveyancing in Tunstall registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country.

Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises thus post completion formalities is not usually primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
