My financial adviser has asked me for my Burwell law firm’s panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have contacted my local Burwell branch but they have not got back to me yet.

The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Burwell lawyer . Most Burwell conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.

I have instructed a Burwell property lawyer having checked that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Burwell postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Burwell.

Make use of our comparison tool on this site to ensure that the conveyancers are on the relevant lender panels.
