I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Lloyds. I would like to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Lavenham. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My husband and I are purchasing a newly built apartment in Lavenham and my solicitor is informing me that she is duty bound to the bank to reveal incentives from the seller. I am on a tight deadline to sign contracts and my preference is not to delay the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
How can we know in advance if a Lavenham conveyancing solicitor on the Skipton panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Lavenham getting recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.
We expect to receive a DIP from Barclays this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Lavenham solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Lavenham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.
