We are planning to purchase a 3 bedroom apartment in Beckermet with a mortgage. We like our Beckermet lawyer, however the bank says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel firms or keep our Beckermet conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. We regard this is inequitable; are we not able to demand that the mortgage company use our Beckermet conveyancer ?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders 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. Another option that might be available is for your Beckermet conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
We are buying a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Beckermet who is on the Nottingham solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

The Beckermet conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Beckermet have suddenly closed. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the RBS conveyancing panel and my family Beckermet lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for £250 in advance. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the RBS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to assist.
I am helping my mother sell her flat in Beckermet. Will the solicitor commission an energy assessment or do I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was left as a mandatory part of selling a house. An EPC must be to hand before the property is advertised. It is not something that law firms ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Beckermet conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with long established Beckermet energy assessors
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Lloyds, do Beckermet solicitors face a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Yorkshire BS. Beckermet conveyancing solicitors were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Yorkshire BS?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Yorkshire BS conducted the valuation? Have you informed Yorkshire BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
