My wife and I are planning to buy a 2 bedroom apartment in Beaworthy with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Beaworthy solicitor, but the bank advise he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no option but to instruct one of the bank panel firms or retain our Beaworthy conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. We feel that this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer 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. Another option that might be available is for your Beaworthy conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
It is is a decade since I bought my property in Beaworthy. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they may be archived with the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Beaworthy involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.
