I am considering applying for a Coventry BS mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Byker and Walker with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Coventry BS ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, but Coventry BS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
My wife and I are buying a property in Byker and Walker. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we have to deposit funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Byker and Walker. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in February. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Virgin Money. Is it usual for Virgin Money to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Byker and Walker is approved on their conveyancing panel? Virgin Money have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
