Do we simply find a new that is on their panel or should we cover the costs for separate representation, with appointing their own preferred .
When buying a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the buyer’s solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. 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 meet. Some lenders now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your should call to find out 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 don't have to instruct a firm on 's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred North Harrow lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another into the equation.
