My brother and I have agreed a price on a apartment I spoke to a lawyer recommended by my mum and he advised using a solicitor approved by Capital Home Loans. The estate agent recommended two local firms so I asked Capital Home Loans if the 2 suggested solicitors are approved, which they are not. Capital Home Loans pointed out that either firm can fill out the appropriate forms to become approved. Do I (1) save myself the aggravation and use one of Capital Home Loans 's conveyancing panel solicitors (2) Use the local solicitor and accept there may be delays etc as they go through the approval process.

The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure these solicitors are on the lenders panel). Call up Capital Home Loans or your broker and complete any relevant paperwork. Capital Home Loans will tell you what documents they want. Capital Home Loans will instruct a valuer. The valuer will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about week to get a mortgage offer. Capital Home Loans will issue the offer to you and your lawyer. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing.
