Lenders in the main restrict either the category or the volume of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners.

You should note that Nottingham Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Nottingham Building Society Conveyancer Panel.
