I plan on purchasing a ground floor flat in Worsley. My property lawyer is not listed on the bank approved list. Can I still continue with my Worsley conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?
Various options include
- Proceed with your preferred Worsley solicitor but your bank will need to appoint a conveyancer on their approved list. This will result in additional fees together with likely delay.
- Appoint a new conveyancer to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.

As someone unfamiliar with the Worsley conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can give me concerning the home moving process in Worsley
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Worsley or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, property agent and sometimes the bank. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Worsley is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a potential adversary may try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint their recommended solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Worsley
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred Worsley conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
I am expecting to exchange on the purchase a property in Worsley but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the owner of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but the bank will not agree to this. Why were they notified?
Any lawyer that is on the lender approved list is obliged to advise the lender of any changes to the purchase amount. If you did not allow your solicitor to notify the reduction to your bank then they would have to discontinue representing you and the mortgage company.
