My husband and I are intent on acquiring residence in Looe. My property lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Can I still retain my Looe conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?
You have a couple of options available to you here
- Proceed with your chosen Looe lawyer but your mortgage company will undoubtedly appoint a solicitor on their approved panel. The net result is additional charges and likely frustration.
- Choose a fresh lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to pull out all the stops to get accepted on the bank’s conveyancing panel

Am I best advised to use a Looe conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can conduct the legal work but her office is 400kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a high street Looe conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute documents, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Looe know how is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and in the main were content that should trump using an unknown Looe conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being local.
