I plan on acquiring property in Neath Port Talbot. My Conveyancer is not on the mortgage company approved panel. Can I still retain my Neath Port Talbot conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?
You must instruct a property lawyer to deal with the legal work required when you require a mortgage to purchase your property. They will conduct all the essential due diligence on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. You may instruct a Neath Port Talbot conveyancing practitioner of your choice. However, if the solicitor selected is not a member of the bank approved list further charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not previously applied for membership they should do so.
