My husband and I have arranged the release of further funds on our home loan from Skipton as we wish to conduct alterations to our house in Botley. Are we obliged to select a local Botley solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Planning on purchasing a flat in Botley. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Botley conveyancing practitioner is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the lessor.

It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Botley.
