I am considering mortgaging my flat in Cilcain, does my lawyer have to be on the Skipton Solicitor panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Skipton conveyancing panel, but Skipton would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

Me and my partner are purchasing a flat in Cilcain. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On the day of competition we have to put funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?

We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Principality as we intend to conduct alterations to our property in Cilcain. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Cilcain solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

Principality would not normally require firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Principality list.

My offer was accepted on an apartment in Cilcain on 5/12/2024, valuation was booked 4 days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Yorkshire BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Are Yorkshire BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I am short of a 10% deposit on my house purchase in Cilcain , but I am anxious go ahead. Do I have options?

One option is to try and accept a lesser deposit. Most sellers will agree to a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
