My fiance and I are intent on acquiring residence in Baguley. My property lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my Baguley conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank list of approved lawyers?
You have numerous alternatives open to you here
- Carry on with your preferred Baguley property lawyer but your bank will need to use a conveyancing practitioner on their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional cost together with probable frustration.
- Get a new conveyancing practitioner to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to do everything possible to get accepted on the lender’s panel of solicitors
My husband and I are approaching an exchange on a house in Baguley and my parents have transferred the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The property lawyer is legally required to clarify with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we appoint their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Baguley
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Baguley conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
I acquired a house in Baguley last 2/7/2025 and to date it is still not recorded with the Land Registry. It was part of a development site and my lawyer told me that it may take over a year to register. I have spoken with the Land Registry directly and they say that the initial application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Should I be concerned?
It is your conveyancer that you should contact in order to satisfy any concerns which have arisen as part of the registration formalities for your Baguley property. Normal Baguley conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the vendor’s solicitor that they will assist in resolving any question raised by HMLR so it may be a case of taking action to enforce that undertaking in some way.
