My husband and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom apartment in Wombourne with a mortgage. We like our Wombourne solicitor, however the bank advise she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have no choice but to select one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or keep our Wombourne property lawyer and pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’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. A further alternative is for your Wombourne conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
It is a dozen years since I acquired my property in Wombourne. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they could be archived with the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Wombourne involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
