My home in Pangbourne is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will the property lawyer need to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.
If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Pangbourne what would it be?
It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest Pangbourne conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as RBS, do Pangbourne conveyancing practitioners face an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Pangbourne

Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted Pangbourne conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
Been on the hunt for a solicitor for freehold sale conveyancing in Pangbourne. We are selling, simple no mortgage to pay off, no hurry, currently vacant. Had an estimate from a conveyancer for £1000 plus VAT which is a tad steep given that its so straightforward. Can I pay less for conveyancing in Pangbourne?
Given that it’s a sale only, £425 + VAT should be about the cheapest for a Pangbourne solicitor firm.
