Me and my fiance are buying a flat in New Romney. My lawyer is not on the lender conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to retain my New Romney conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You have numerous alternatives open to you here
- Carry on with your chosen New Romney property lawyer but your bank will need to appoint a property lawyer from their approved panel. This will result in additional fees and likely delay.
- Appoint a new property lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to do everything within their powers to join the mortgage company panel of solicitors
Our New Romney lawyer has discovered an inconsistency between the information in the home valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor informs me that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach appropriate?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

As co-executor for the will of my grandfather I am selling a residence in Cardiff but I am based in New Romney. My conveyancer (who is 300 miles awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec before the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in New Romney to witness this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are New Romney based
