My husband and I are acquiring a studio flat in Cuckfield. When we first instructed conveyancer, we were told they were on all major UK lender panels. Our mortgage broker called just now to say that they are not on the TSB approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we just choose a new conveyancer that is on their panel or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with TSB selecting their own approved solicitor.
When acquiring a property with mortgage finance it is conventional for the purchaser’s lawyers to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the conveyancer has to satisfy. Some banks now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your lawyer should call TSB to discover 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 are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on TSB's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Cuckfield lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another conveyancer into the mix.
