My fiance and I are planning to acquire a house in Seaview and have instructed a Seaview conveyancing practice. Within the past 48 hours our conveyancer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. have this evening contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Seaview conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. Please explain?
When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Seaview solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a garden flat in Seaview. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Seaview?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Seaview. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I currently have a mortgage with for my property in Seaview. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform ?
You must advise before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of ’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact directly. You need not do this via a conveyancing panel firm.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent has warned us that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct their recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Seaview
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Seaview conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
