My wife and I have recently had an offer agreed on a house and had an appointment on Friday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to appointing a conveyancer that if they are not on their approved panel of solicitors then we will incur a further charge of £200. This is because they will then have to appoint a property lawyer to act for them in addition to the one we appoint for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their costs. I have requested the Post Office to provide me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?
Ask the Post Office what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for the Post Office previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with the Post Office.
