I do hope you can help me. My Cilcain lawyer is informing me me that she is duty bound toapply for Cilcain conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Lloydsapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have any options here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Cilcain conveyancing searches.
We are hoping to buy a newly converted flat in Cilcain with a homeloan from Bank of Scotland.We like our Cilcain conveyancing solicitor but Bank of Scotland advised that her practice is not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Bank of Scotland panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Bank of Scotland approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Scotland

Your property lawyer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Cilcain will sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of alterations or need the permission of another owner. Many additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP.

About to purchase flat in Cilcain. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Cilcain property lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
