My husband and I are planning to acquire a house in Shinfield and Arborfield and are in fact using a Shinfield and Arborfield conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our solicitor has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Nationwide Building Society have this afternoon contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Shinfield and Arborfield solicitor is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?
Where you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is conventional for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent 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 Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your bank 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 are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Shinfield and Arborfield lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
I am buying a property for cash in Shinfield and Arborfield. I have been residing for the last 20 years in Shinfield and Arborfield. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Shinfield and Arborfield conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . Do bear in mind; if you are going to dispose of the house one day, it may be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. On occasion houses with day to day issues can still throw up adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Shinfield and Arborfield will provide you some helpful advice in this regard.
