Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kirkby in Ashfield

My husband and I are hoping to acquire a 1 bedroom apartment in Kirkby in Ashfield with a mortgage. We like our Kirkby in Ashfield solicitor, but the bank says he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have no choice but to use one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or retain our Kirkby in Ashfield solicitor and pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. This seems very unfair; are we not able to demand that the bank use our Kirkby in Ashfield property lawyer ?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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. A further alternative is for your Kirkby in Ashfield conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Our solicitor has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Kirkby in Ashfield. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our lawyer says that he must check that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?

Regardless of the fact that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their provisions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the mortgage company are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.
