I plan on buying an apartment in Bamber Bridge. My lawyer is not on the lender solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to appoint my Bamber Bridge conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank list of approved lawyers?

- Proceed with your chosen Bamber Bridge lawyer but your lender will undoubtedly appoint a conveyancing practitioner from their approved panel. The net result is additional charges together with potential interruption.
- Appoint a fresh lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your property lawyer to seek to join the mortgage company panel

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Bamber Bridge - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
