My Solicitor in Chapel En Le Frith is not listed on the TSB Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the TSB approved list?

- Choose a new lawyer to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are TSB approved.

I am expecting a OIP from Coventry BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Chapel En Le Frith solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Chapel En Le Frith solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.
I have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Chapel En Le Frith. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Clydesdale?
Clydesdale must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Clydesdale will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Clydesdale directly. You need not do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor.
Santander have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a apartment in Chapel En Le Frith has been agreed to, now what?
Your estate agent will wish to be informed of your property lawyer's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Santander or the broker and finalise any appropriate forms. Santander will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to book a time for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Santander will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Chapel En Le Frith.
How does conveyancing in Chapel En Le Frith differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Chapel En Le Frith approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Chapel En Le Frith typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Chapel En Le Frith or who has acted in the same development.
