I am acquiring residence in Hoole. My Solicitor is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Hoole conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You have a couple of choices available to you here
- Carry on with your preferred Hoole property lawyer but your mortgage company will need to retain a lawyer on their approved panel. This will result in additional cost together with probable interruption.
- Get a new conveyancer to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your solicitor to pull out all the stops to get listed on the lender’s conveyancing panel
Our grandson is purchasing a house that has just been built in Hoole with a mortgage from Skipton. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Skipton conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

How does conveyancing in Hoole differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Hoole approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Hoole usually buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hoole or who has acted in the same development.
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the owners will only issue a contract if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Hoole
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Hoole conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
