My Beeston conveyancer has identified a difference between the information in the valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he must ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s course or action appropriate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

we are a couple who intend to purchase a purpose built flat in Beeston with a homeloan from Yorkshire Building Society.We would like to retain our Beeston conveyancing practitioner but Yorkshire Building Society advised that her practice is not on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Yorkshire Building Society panel firm or retain our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Yorkshire Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the Yorkshire Building Society solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire Building Society
My uncle advised me that in purchasing a property in Beeston there could be various restrictions preventing external changes to the property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Beeston which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Beeston should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
When it comes to lenders such as RBS, do Beeston property lawyers face a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Beeston on 31/10/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Co-operative and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
