I am considering applying for a Lloyds mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Romsey with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, but Lloyds would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

It is highly unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your own,trusted Romsey conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
