My fiance and I wish to acquire a purpose built flat in Easingwold with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd.We have a Easingwold conveyancing solicitor but Accord Mortgages Ltd says his firm is not on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Accord Mortgages Ltd use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the Accord Mortgages Ltd solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Easingwold I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Easingwold in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
Should I be suspicious about 3rd parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an online conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Easingwold conveyancing firm?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often input from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are many parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may recommend lawyers to use. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there might be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are free to choose your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that the majority of banks specify a panel list of conveyancers you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.
