I opted for a local firm for my conveyancing in Glossop last week. Reviewing the terms of engagement it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for costs even if the dealdoes not go ahead. Should I go with them or instruct a web based conveyancing brokerage promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Glossop?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to neutralise the transactions that do not proceed. Dont forget that these offerings rarely protect you from outlay such your Glossop conveyancing search expenses.
we are a couple who are purchasing a 2 bedroom apartment in Glossop with a homeloan from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We have a Glossop conveyancing solicitor but Platform Home Loans Ltd informed us her practice is not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Glossop. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £150. A couple of days later, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Santander conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Santander panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

You would be well advised to undertake a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence is over 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. The report should highlight any obvious problems and suggest additional investigation where appropriate. Where there are any indications of problems get a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
