My property lawyer in Maltby is not listed on the Bank of Ireland Approved Panel. Can I still retain my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Bank of Ireland panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your existing Maltby solicitors but Bank of Ireland will need to instruct a solicitor on their panel. This will result in additional total conveyancing charges as well as result in delays.
- Get a new lawyer to to deal with the purchase, remembering to check they are on the Bank of Ireland panel
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Maltby. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Maltby?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Maltby. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
