I am purchasing property in Long Hanborough. My Solicitor has never been on on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Am I still permitted to use my Long Hanborough conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
One must use a lawyer to deal with the formalities if you need a loan to purchase your home. They will carry out all the essential investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. You may select a Long Hanborough lawyer of your choosing. However, where the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not a member of the lender approved list supplemental charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your lawyer has not previously sought membership they can do so.
