When buying a property, it is important to use a solicitor approved by your mortgage lender. If you are purchasing a property and taking out a Lloyds Bank mortgage, you need a law firm on the Lloyds Bank conveyancing panel.

If the conveyancer you choose is not approved by your lender, you may need to switch. This is likely to cause delays and complications. Alternatively, the lender could ask you to pay for them to instruct their own legal team, which mean extra and unnecessary expense.

Buying a property with a Lloyds Bank mortgage

When you purchase a property with a mortgage, you will need a solicitor to represent you and your lender. If you are thinking of buying somewhere, you can contact us now and we will let you have the paperwork to complete. Dealing with the initial administration early on can reduce the length of time it takes to get to exchange of contracts.

In addition, you should also give our details to your broker, or to your lender, if you are applying direct. Finally, once you have an offered accepted, you will need to give our details to the estate agent so that they can pass them on to the seller’s solicitors.

We can then start the due diligence work as soon as the seller’s solicitors send us the contract papers. This will include raising enquiries and applying for searches. Once we have all of the information we need, we will report to you on the property and draw your attention to anything of concern.

When you are happy to go ahead, you will need to let us have your deposit, which is paid to the seller’s solicitors on exchange of contracts. We will discuss completion dates with you and this will be fixed when the exchange happens. We will then order your mortgage advance in time for the completion day and let you know how much we will need from you in cleared funds.
