I am acquiring residence in Bedlington. My lawyer has never been on on the bank conveyancing panel. Am I still permitted to appoint my Bedlington conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel?
One will need to have a solicitor to complete the formalities when you need a loan to purchase your property. The conveyancing practitioner will conduct all the essential investigations on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. You could select a Bedlington solicitor of your choice. However, where the solicitor selected is not on the mortgage company conveyancing panel supplemental fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so where your solicitor has not in the past applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.
