My husband and I are acquiring residence in Chathill. My Conveyancer is not on the bank approved panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Chathill conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company approved list?
Your options include
- Proceed with your existing Chathill conveyancer but your lender will need to instruct a conveyancing practitioner from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional charges and potential delay.
- Appoint a new property lawyer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your conveyancing practitioner to seek to join the mortgage company panel

My husband and I wish to acquire a purpose built flat in Chathill with a mortgage from National Westminster Bank.We would like to retain our Chathill conveyancing solicitor but National Westminster Bank says his firm is not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a National Westminster Bank panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a National Westminster Bank panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that National Westminster Bank use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the National Westminster Bank conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose 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 National Westminster Bank
How does conveyancing in Chathill differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Chathill contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Chathill usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Chathill or who has acted in the same development.
