Me and my fiance are acquiring a maisonette in Delabole. My lawyer is not on the lender solicitor list. Is it possible for me to continue with my Delabole conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender list of approved lawyers?
You will need to use a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the formalities when you need a mortgage to buy your property. They will carry out all the appropriate due diligence on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. You may appoint a Delabole conveyancer of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the lawyer selected is not a member of the bank approved list additional costs will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not in the past applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Delabole. Does the conveyancer arrange an energy assessment or should I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments remained a mandatory component of moving property. An energy assessment must be to hand before the property is advertised. This is not a task that lawyers normally organise. If you are instructing a Delabole conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with reputable local assessors

Bank of Ireland do not ordinarily instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Bank of Ireland panel.
