I plan on buying an apartment in Amble. My Solicitor is not listed on the bank solicitor panel. Can I still use my Amble conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
One must have a solicitor to deal with the formalities if you need a mortgage to purchase your property. They will conduct all the essential due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. You can instruct a Amble conveyancing practitioner of your choice. Nevertheless, if the property lawyer appointed is not on the mortgage company approved list further charges will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not historically sought membership they should take the chance to apply.
My husband and I are purchasing a newly converted flat in Amble with a mortgage from Barclays Direct.We have a Amble conveyancing solicitor but Barclays Direct says her practice is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Barclays Direct panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Barclays Direct panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barclays Direct use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Barclays Direct approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct

The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
