My husband and I have just had an offer agreed on a house and had an appointment on Friday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to choosing a property lawyer that if they are not on their approved panel of solicitors then we will have to pay out a further fee of £200. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to select a conveyancer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we choose to act on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have asked Nationwide to send me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?
You should ask Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide before. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide.
