As your lender is Nationwide your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide.

The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Canvey Island.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by HSBC. Is it usual for HSBC to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Canvey Island is approved on their conveyancing panel? HSBC 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 HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
