My solicitor is not on my Lender's panel - what do I do?

Mortgage lenders maintain panels of solicitors who they will instruct to carry out legal work on mortgages. At one time, many lenders, especially the large banks, were prepared to instruct any firm of solicitors who asked to be placed on their panel. More recently, lenders have begun to remove firms which have either not completed many conveyancing transactions or have failed to meet other criteria. These options are available to any homebuyer whose solicitor is not on their lender's panel; you could either obtain a mortgage from another lender, or instruct another firm of conveyancer who are on the panel. Generally, it is cheaper to have the same firm act both for you and your lender, but you could also choose to persist with both your first choice of lender and solicitor, and pay for a lawyer selected by the lender to carry out the relevant legal work.

Does your Morden purchase qualify for Stamp Duty Relief?

Disadvantaged Areas Relief may be available in nearly 2,000 areas throughout the UK. Local government wards or electoral divisions are used to define the boundaries of these. These disadvantaged areas do not always coincide with postcode districts, so the postcode search tool cannot always be relied on. It may be necessary to make further enquiries with the local council, if initial searches fail to identify whether a residence lies in a disadvantaged area. For a purchase below the threshold, it is worth making a simple postcode search to find out if a property is in a disadvantaged area.
