The solicitor who helped my previous purchase has quoted £1350 for no completion no fee conveyancing in Hackenthorpe. I’m hoping to sell a Georgian detached home for £175,000. Is this too much? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Hackenthorpe?

My apartment in Hackenthorpe is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Does the solicitor need to be required to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.

Me and my partner are hoping to buy a 2 room ground floor flatin Hackenthorpe with a mortgage from a bank. We have selected a lawyer in Hackenthorpe however our lender says he's not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose from the our mortgage company panel solicitors or keep our Hackenthorpe solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Hackenthorpe lawyer?
No, not really. The lender mortgage offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Hackenthorpe : 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 your bank.
