I'm at the point of viewing apartments in Duxford and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it sensible to have a solicitor on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with Aldermore.
It would be advisable to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Aldermore, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Duxford. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Not long after, the solicitor called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
