Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chorleywood and Rickmansworth

My husband and I are buying a 3 bedroom apartment in Chorleywood and Rickmansworth with a mortgage. We have a Chorleywood and Rickmansworth lawyer, however the bank says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or retain our Chorleywood and Rickmansworth conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We regard this is inequitable; are we not able to insist that the lender use our Chorleywood and Rickmansworth property lawyer ?

Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’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. A further alternative is for your Chorleywood and Rickmansworth conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your property lawyer 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 lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions .

It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in Chorleywood and Rickmansworth. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't find the title documents. Will this cause complications?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they could be archived with the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers.
