I am expecting a DIP from Nottingham this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any Kirkby In Furness solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Kirkby In Furness solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Kirkby In Furness. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £175. A few days later, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the RBS 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 RBS 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.
How does conveyancing in Kirkby In Furness differ for newly converted properties?
