My husband and I are buying a 3 bedroom apartment in Rush Green with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Rush Green conveyancer, but the lender says he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have no option but to instruct one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or keep our Rush Green lawyer and pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. This seems very unfair; are we not able to insist that the lender use our Rush Green property lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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. Another option that might be available is for your Rush Green conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
We just had an offer accepted to purchase with Earl Shilton BS. We have called around locally but am struggling to find a Rush Green conveyancing firm on the Earl Shilton BS panel. Please you help?

About to purchase a new build flat in Rush Green. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Rush Green
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please supply a car parking plan. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the owners will only move forward if we use their chosen conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Rush Green
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your own,trusted Rush Green conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Rush Green. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the service charge as usual because all ground rent and maintenance charges will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such matters? Can you recommend a Rush Green conveyancing firm to assist?
Most definitely. We can put you in touch with a Rush Green conveyancing firm who can help.

What are my options where I am not happy with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out my conveyancing in Rush Green?
We live in an imperfect world, and unfortunately occasionally matters do not go as planned. That being said there is recourse if you were dissatisfied with your conveyancing in Rush Green. This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a conveyancing practitioner to their governing body. If things still aren’t sorted out you may consider getting in touch with the Legal Ombudsman.
