We are buying a newly converted flat in Uckfield with a residential mortgage from Alliance & Leicester .We like our Uckfield conveyancing lawyer but Alliance & Leicester advised that she’s not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Alliance & Leicester panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for a Alliance & Leicester panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Alliance & Leicester approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose 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 Alliance & Leicester

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Uckfield conveyancing practitioners have been chosen. How long does it take for Leeds Building Society to issue the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Leeds Building Society done the valuation?

Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Our sealed bid on a house in Uckfield has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Uckfield. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Uckfield conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of purchasers will apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Uckfield.
