Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wedmore

My husband and I are buying a 2 bedroom apartment in Wedmore with a mortgage. We like our Wedmore lawyer, however the mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel firms or retain our Wedmore lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; are we not able to demand that the bank use our Wedmore property lawyer ?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders 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 Wedmore conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

My wife and I intend to remortgage our penthouse in Wedmore with Principality. We have a son 18 who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Principality conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your Principality conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Principality. This is solely used to protect Principality if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Principality had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Skipton. Is it usual for Skipton to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Wedmore is approved on their conveyancing panel? Skipton have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Is it worth asking Chelsea Building Society to clarify?
