I am acquiring residence in Ipswich. My lawyer is not listed on the bank solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my Ipswich conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank list of approved lawyers?
One will need to appoint a property lawyer to deal with the legal work required if you take out a mortgage to purchase your home. They will carry out all the necessary investigations on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in order. You may instruct a Ipswich conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the lawyer appointed is not on the lender approved list additional costs will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not historically sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
My son is buying a new build apartment in Ipswich with a mortgage from Virgin Money. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Ipswich. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Ipswich?

Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
Can I be sure that the Ipswich conveyancing solicitor on the TSB panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Ipswich obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.
I have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Ipswich. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
Your original mortgage agreement with Coventry BS will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 Coventry BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel lawyer.
