I am purchasing property in Ince in Makerfield. My lawyer is not listed on the bank approved panel. Can I still retain my Ince in Makerfield conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Various options include
- Proceed with your existing Ince in Makerfield property lawyer but your mortgage company will need to retain a conveyancing practitioner on their approved panel. The net result is additional cost together with likely interruption.
- Appoint a new property lawyer to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to pull out all the stops to get accepted on the lender’s conveyancing panel
The owners of the property we are looking to purchase have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Ince in Makerfield who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Are such agreements appropriate for Ince in Makerfield conveyancing transactions?
This kind of contract is not the norm in Ince in Makerfield, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has executed an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may be tempted to break the agreement if they are offered a large enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not compare to the financial upside that your seller may obtain by breaching the agreement, however morally shameful that may be.
We're in Ince in Makerfield, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Co-operative , and our lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
