I plan on purchasing an apartment in Ravensthorpe. My lawyer is not on the mortgage company approved panel. Can I still appoint my Ravensthorpe conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender panel?
You have a number of choices available to you here
- Complete the purchase with your chosen Ravensthorpe conveyancing practitioner but your bank will no doubt retain a property lawyer on their approved list. The net result is additional cost and probable delay.
- Choose a new property lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to do everything within their powers to get listed on the lender’s conveyancing panel
I am thinking of remortgaging my home in Ravensthorpe, does my lawyer need to be on the Skipton Solicitor panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Skipton will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
My wife and I buying a 3 bedroom semi in Ravensthorpe. We would like to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will legal investigations on the property include checks to ascertain if these alterations are permitted?
Your property lawyer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Ravensthorpe can occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain changes or need the permission of another owner. Many extensions require local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Principality conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be overseen by the CLC.

There is no definitive answer here. Have Bank of Ireland completed the valuation? Have you advised Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
