I am acquiring a leasehold flat in Corbridge. My lawyer has never been on on the bank solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to use my Corbridge conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One must have a conveyancing practitioner to complete the legal work required if you take out a mortgage to purchase your home. The lawyer will carry out all the appropriate due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. You can appoint a Corbridge property lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the property lawyer appointed is not a member of the mortgage company solicitor panel further charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not historically applied for membership they should do so.

Intending to buy a maisonette in Corbridge. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Corbridge lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Corbridge differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Corbridge come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Corbridge typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Corbridge or who has acted in the same development.
