We went with a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Rayners Lane today. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions I seewe are liable for fees even if the movedoes not go ahead. Should I ditch them and choose a web based conveyancing brokerage promising no completion no cost conveyancing in Rayners Lane?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to counteract those conveyances that abort. Do bear in mind that such promotions tend not to protect you from outlay for instance Rayners Lane conveyancing search charges.
we are a couple who are buying a newbuild apartment in Rayners Lane with a loan from Barclays .We have a Rayners Lane conveyancing practitioner but Barclays advised that she’s not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Barclays panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barclays use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Barclays solicitor panel. in the past, 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays
