We were going to get a AIP from Virgin Money this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Virgin Money recommend any Wollaton solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Wollaton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Wollaton. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Not long after, the conveyancer called me to say that they were not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nationwide panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
