My husband and I wish to acquire a purpose built apartment in Thornbury with a homeloan from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We have a Thornbury conveyancing lawyer but Platform Home Loans Ltd says he's not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel firm or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Platform Home Loans Ltd use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd

About to purchase apartment in Thornbury. 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 Yorkshire BS 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 Thornbury solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
My offer on a house in Thornbury has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Thornbury. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Thornbury conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. Concerning the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Thornbury.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Thornbury is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Thornbury are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Thornbury you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Thornbury may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
I'm refinancing my existing property to a buy to let loan with Bank of Ireland and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on another property. The neighborhood we are talking about is Thornbury. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two banks and tie in the two deals?
Do use our search tool on this page to be sure that the solicitors are approved by both lenders. Assuming that they are the conveyancer should be able to tie up the two transactions but you should have a chat with you conveyancer and communicate your expectations and needs.
Am I best advised to choose a Thornbury conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am buying? I have an old university friend who can perform the legal formalities but they are based 400kilometers drive away.
The benefit of a local Thornbury conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and they were happy that should surpass using an unfamiliar Thornbury conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
