Do lawyers ask for money on account for my conveyancing in Crawley?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Crawley your solicitor will request that you place them with monies to cover the search fees. Ordinarily this is needed to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. If any down payment is as part of the total price then this should be required immediately before contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.
We decided to purchase a newly converted apartment in Crawley with a homeloan from The Mortgage Works.We have a Crawley conveyancing solicitor but The Mortgage Works advised that he's not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a The Mortgage Works panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that The Mortgage Works use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the The Mortgage Works conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Mortgage Works
