Much to our surprise we have been told by our mortgage broker that my Catford the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Solicitor panel. How can I be sure that this is correct?
Your first step should be to call your Catford conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your bank.

Our offer on house in Catford has been accepted, the seller does however have an associated purchase. The vendors have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and has viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Catford. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland?
It is normal to have concerns where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Catford conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with Bank of Ireland and pay for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to move forward with searches.
