My wife and I are intent on acquiring a ground floor flat in Flamborough. My Conveyancer has never been on on the lender solicitor list. Can I still use my Flamborough conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
You have a couple of options open to you here
- Complete the purchase with your existing Flamborough conveyancing practitioner but your mortgage company will no doubt appoint a lawyer on their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional cost and potential interruption.
- Get a new conveyancing practitioner to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to pull out all the stops to get accepted on the bank’s panel of solicitors

I am planning to move home in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Flamborough. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the selling agent but this can only be done once the sellers solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Flamborough or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Flamborough.
