I plan on purchasing an apartment in Marple. My lawyer has never been on on the bank solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my Marple conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank panel?
You will need to use a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the legal work required when you require a mortgage to purchase your home. They will conduct all the essential due diligence on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in place. You can appoint a Marple conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. However, if the property lawyer appointed is not on the bank conveyancing panel supplemental costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so if your solicitor has not historically sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Virgin Money. Is it usual for Virgin Money to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Marple is approved on their conveyancing panel? Virgin Money have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

My mother completed her conveyancing in Marple ten years ago. She has since got married, divorced and is now married again. She wishes to sell the property next moths. I believe she will simply be requested to provide a copy of her marriage certificates to the lawyer however she is worried it could delay the sale of the house.

It is not absolutely necessary to bring up to date the register on the basis that you have the evidence required to show how the name change occurred.
Any buyer’s conveyancing practitioner will examine the land registry information and require evidence to prove the change of name for instance marriage certificates.
