My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint the agent's chosen solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Belgravia
It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Belgravia conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
My husband and I are buying a three room apartmentin Belgravia with a loan from a mortgage company. We would like to retain our conveyancer in Belgravia however our bank advise she’s not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our lender panel firms or stay with our Belgravia conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The bank mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Belgravia : 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
