Me and my fiance are buying a maisonette in Caergwrle. My property lawyer has never been on on the lender approved list. Is it possible for me to retain my Caergwrle conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender approved list?

The property lawyer will conduct all the essential legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in order. One may appoint a Caergwrle conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. However, if the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not a member of the lender solicitor panel further charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not in the past sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers based in Caergwrle on the Lloyds solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a separate amount for dealing with the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Lloyds?

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Caergwrle off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Aldermore. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
