I am acquiring a ground floor flat in Wincanton. My Solicitor is not on the bank solicitor list. Is it possible for me to continue with my Wincanton conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel?
One will need to use a lawyer to complete the legal work required if you take out a mortgage to buy your home. They will conduct all the essential legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in order. You can select a Wincanton conveyancing practitioner of your choice. However, if the property lawyer appointed is not a member of the bank solicitor panel additional charges will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not in the past sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Wincanton
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Wincanton conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Wincanton - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
