We are looking to buy a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Roker who is on the Coventry BS approved panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Coventry BS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Roker.
we are a couple who wish to acquire a purpose built apartment in Roker with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd.We would like to retain our Roker conveyancing lawyer but Godiva Mortgages Ltd says he's not listed on their approved list of member firms. It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Godiva Mortgages Ltd use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd approved list. in the past, 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 Godiva Mortgages Ltd
