Me and my husband are buying a maisonette in Cardigan. My Solicitor is not listed on the lender solicitor panel. Can I still continue with my Cardigan conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender approved list?
Various options include
- Complete the purchase with your chosen Cardigan property lawyer but your lender will need to appoint a lawyer from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees together with potential interruption.
- Get a new property lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to do everything possible to join the bank’s panel of solicitors
Please help. My Cardigan conveyancer is advising me that he is legally obliged toconduct Cardigan conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the HSBCsolicitor panel. These Cardigan checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Cardigan conveyancing searches.

I can see plenty of here about conveyancing in Cardigan but can you isolate your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Cardigan
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Cardigan conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Cardigan. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Cardigan?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
is it true that all Cardigan solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Been looking for a property lawyer for freehold sale conveyancing in Cardigan. I'm selling, simple no mortgage to discharge, no hurry, currently empty. Had a quote from a conveyancing practitioner for £1000 including VAT which is a tad expensive considering its so straightforward. Is it possible to find less expensive fees for conveyancing in Cardigan?
As it’s a sale only, 475 + VAT should be about the lowest for a Cardigan solicitor firm.
