I was advised recently by my lender that my Consett lawyer is not on the bank Solicitor panel. How can I be certain that this is indeed the case?

I just bought a house at auction in Consett. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?
Given that you have now for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you should retain a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you now have a pending a drop dead date to complete the conveyancing. All auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding legal set of papers. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold premises the conveyancing pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to a leasehold property. You must pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete on the date specified in the contract.
We previously selected solicitors based in Consett on the Co-operative solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for the legal aspects of the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Co-operative?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Co-operative but by your Consett property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Co-operative panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
My husband and I have arranged the release of further funds on our mortgage from Yorkshire BS as we want to carry out alterations to our house in Consett. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Consett solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Yorkshire BS do not ordinarily require firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
