I am buying a ground floor flat in Wroxham. My lawyer has never been on on the lender conveyancing list. Is it possible for me to use my Wroxham conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel?
You must appoint a conveyancer to complete the formalities when you take out a loan to buy your home. They will conduct all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One could instruct a Wroxham property lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the property lawyer appointed is not a member of the bank approved list supplemental fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so where your solicitor has not in the past applied for membership they can do so.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Wroxham last January but the buyer keeps Skype messaging me complaining that their lawyer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

If applicable, your conveyancer must also confirm that the mortgage has been repaid to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks unique to conveyancing in Wroxham.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees.
