Can the conveyancing solicitors listed on your site handle auction conveyancing in Niton?
There are a number of auction practitioners we can put you in touch with those conducting auction conveyancing. Niton is just one of hundreds of locations where our lawyers have a presence.
we are a couple who are buying a newbuild flat in Niton with a mortgage from Barclays Direct.We like our Niton conveyancing solicitor but Barclays Direct advised that her practice is not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Barclays Direct panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Barclays Direct panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Barclays Direct solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct
