Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Longford

Me and my partner are hoping to buy a 1 bedroom flat in Longford with a mortgage. We have a Longford conveyancer, but the bank advise he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no option but to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or keep our Longford lawyer and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This feels very unfair; can we not insist that the lender use our Longford solicitor ?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Longford conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

My partner and I are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Longford and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?

The conveyancer is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
