Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chatteris

My wife and I are looking to buy a flat in Chatteris and have instructed a Chatteris conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our conveyancer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with a view to exchanging next week. Santander have this evening contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Chatteris solicitor is not on their conveyancing panel. Please explain?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Chatteris lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.

Would the conveyancing lawyers that you recommend handle attended exchange conveyancing in Chatteris?
