My financial adviser has requested my Leeds lawyer’ panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have contacted my local Leeds branch but they have not got back to me yet.

We are about to exchange contracts for a property in Leeds. We encountered a stumbling block. The mortgage offer with Nottingham Building Society runs out on 3/7/2024 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 5/7/2024. Is it possible to prolong the loan expiry date?

The person best placed to deal with your concern is your lawyer who is in a position to determine if he or she is should be discussing with the mortgage broker, seller’s lawyers, property agents or possibly all parties based on the history of your conveyancing to date.

We had our mortgage agreed in principle yesterday with our bank. We appointed a long established conveyancer in Leeds last week. A couple of hours ago, our financial adviser phoned to advise us that the mortgage company said that we cannot use our solicitor as they aren't on their 'approved list'. As FTB's, we did not have a clue that the bank had a say Is this permitted?

You are permitted to use any lawyer you want to appoint including the said conveyancer in Leeds but if they are not on the your bank's panel you will have to fork out additional cost so the bank can instruct their own lawyers. On occasion it is conceivable that your solicitor may apply to get added to the bank list of approved firms.
