Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Seascale

My wife and I are looking to buy a home in Seascale and are in fact using a Seascale conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our solicitor has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. The Royal Bank of Scotland have this morning contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Seascale conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. What do we do from here?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' lawyers to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Seascale lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

I am buying a semi-detached house in Seascale. How practical is it for me to do the conveyancing?

Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are the main reason for hinderance in Seascale conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
