Me and my husband are acquiring residence in Kingsnorth. My lawyer is not on the bank approved list. Is it possible for me to continue with my Kingsnorth conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You have a number of alternatives open to you here
- Proceed with your chosen Kingsnorth solicitor but your lender will no doubt retain a property lawyer on their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees together with probable frustration.
- Choose a new property lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your conveyancing practitioner to seek to join the lender panel
My partner and I are acquiring our first home. Our conveyancer has texted usto check if we would like to purchase supplemental conveyancing searches. Frankly we are clueless as to what's recommended for conveyancing in Kingsnorth
The range of Kingsnorth conveyancing searches depends primarily on the property, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your familiarity of the area and risks, your overall approach to risk. What is important is that you adequately appreciate what information the searches could supply. Then you can make a decision if you consider that you need that information. If in doubt, ask the lawyer to offer guidance.
I am considering applying for a Nottingham mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Kingsnorth with 60% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Nottingham will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

Your solicitor will check the registered title as conveyancing in Kingsnorth can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain works or need the permission of another owner. Many works call for local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
