I was told today by my mortgage adviser that my Arthog property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be certain that this is indeed the case?
Your first step should be to call your Arthog lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
What is the first thing I need to know regarding purchase conveyancing in Arthog?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Arthog or throughout Gwynedd is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, selling agent and even potentially your lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Arthog should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose interest is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary may try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is against your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

The first thing you should do is call your conveyancer and ask them whether they can act for the lender. Otherwise please call Chelsea Building Society who may be able to help.
