I plan on purchasing a leasehold flat in Willerby. My lawyer has never been on on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Willerby conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank panel?
You must use a conveyancer to deal with the legal work required when you need a mortgage to buy your property. The conveyancing practitioner will conduct all the essential investigations on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in order. One may select a Willerby conveyancer of your choice. However, where the lawyer selected is not on the bank approved list further costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not previously applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
