I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Lloyds. I would like to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Rainham. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Rainham off the council. I have a mortgage offer with UBS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with UBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel.

I had an offer accepted on a house in Rainham on 20/12/2024, valuation was booked five days later, all came back fine. Solicitor appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nottingham and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

How does conveyancing in Rainham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Rainham come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Rainham tend to acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Rainham or who has acted in the same development.

I'm refinancing my current house to a BTL loan with Bank of Ireland and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on another house. The area we are talking about is Rainham. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of lenders and tie in the transactions?
