My financial adviser requires my Llansamlet law firm’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have tried my local Llansamlet branch but they have not got back to me yet.
Have you tried calling your Llansamlet solicitor about this?. Most Llansamlet conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
My wife and I are about to exchange buying a house in Llansamlet but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the vendor in the sum of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Co-operative are not allowing this. Why were they notified?
The conveyancing practitioner that is on a Co-operative approved list is obliged to inform Co-operative of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your solicitor to disclose the reduction to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Llansamlet.
I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Llansamlet?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers if you accept the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the mortgage company to check if they allow a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Llansamlet.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Llansamlet in advance of retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to issue a loan on such a premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Llansamlet. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Llansamlet especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Llansamlet.
