My partner and I are purchasing a ground floor flat in Bude. When we first instructed , they said that they were on all major UK lender panels. Our financial adviser emailed just now to advise that they don't seem to be on the approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we just choose a different that is on their panel or should we pay for separate representation, with appointing their own preferred .
When buying a property with mortgage finance it is conventional for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the has to satisfy. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your should call and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on 's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Bude lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another into the mix.
