My mortgage broker says he needs my Ince in Makerfield solicitor’s panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have called my local Ince in Makerfield branch but they have not responded to me.
You are best placed to get this information from your Ince in Makerfield solicitor . Most Ince in Makerfield law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the Barclays Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Ince in Makerfield?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
We previously chose solicitors with offices in Ince in Makerfield on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They have just billed me an additional amount for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Ince in Makerfield conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Ince in Makerfield conveyancing solicitors were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from RBS?
There is no definitive answer here. Have RBS done the valuation? Have you informed RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
