It has come to my attention via my IFA that my Dereham solicitor is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. What can I do to check?
The best course of action for you to take is to contact your Dereham lawyer directly. You lawyer should notify you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Dereham?
If you are buying a property in Dereham your solicitor will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Generally this is needed to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the down payment is as part of the sale price then this will be needed immediately ahead of contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is needed should be transferred shortly before completion.
