What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Brixworth
Do not opt for the lowest Brixworth conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Brixworth agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Brixworth. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Virgin Money going?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Brixworth conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money approved list. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to proceed with searches.

My husband and I are acquiring a 2 bedroom flat in Brixworth. When we first instructed conveyancing practitioner, we were told they were on all major UK bank panels. The mortgage broker emailed today to say that they don't seem to be on the Nationwide approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Do we simply pick a different lawyer that is on their panel or should we cover the costs for dual representation, with Nationwide selecting their own preferred conveyancer.
Where you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is standard for the purchaser’s solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the conveyancer has to satisfy. Some banks now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact Nationwide and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on Nationwide's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Brixworth lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another conveyancer into the equation.
