I have just been advised by my estate agent that my Little Hulton property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I be certain whether this is indeed the case?
The best course of action for you to take is to contact your Little Hulton lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Little Hulton conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
We are soon to exchange buying a property in Little Hulton but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors in the sum of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Principality are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?
The conveyancer that is on the Principality conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Principality of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to disclose the price change to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Little Hulton.
