I am under pressure from the executor of a property in Flintshire to complete within four weeks. What can I do to speed up matters?
First, If you are under a tight deadline for your conveyancing we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will have local relationships and insight. It is even conceivable that they could have transacted otherproperties in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Flintshire conveyancing solicitor. Second, double check that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is understood that 18% of Flintshire conveyancing deals are delayed or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. This can often result in the conveyancing being frustrated by as much as 21 days. It is estimated that this issue impacts in the region of 100,000 home moves annually. Many Flintshire conveyancing firms can not act for certain banks so do check at the outset.

My fiance and I are hoping to buy a 3 bedroom flat in Flintshire with a homeloan from Accord Mortgages Ltd.We would like to retain our Flintshire conveyancing practitioner but Accord Mortgages Ltd advised that she’s not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Accord Mortgages Ltd use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the Accord Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd
