My mortgage broker requires my Stanley law firm’s panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have contacted my local Stanley branch but they don't know it.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Stanley property lawyer . Most Stanley conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
we are a couple who wish to acquire a purpose built apartment in Stanley with a loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland.We have a Stanley conveyancing practitioner but The Royal Bank of Scotland informed us his firm is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that The Royal Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the The Royal Bank of Scotland solicitor panel. Until recently, most banks 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland
I am assisting my mother sell her house in Stanley. Does the conveyancer order the EPC or it is for me to see to?
After the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s remained a mandatory element of selling a house. An EPC needs to be to hand before the property is advertised. This is not something that lawyers ordinarily organise. If you are using a Stanley conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established Stanley providers
About to purchase apartment in Stanley. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Stanley lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
Our offer on a house in Stanley has been agreed to, the sellers do however have a dependent purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Stanley. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Stanley conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to press on with searches.
