My husband and I are purchasing a garden flat in Deptford. When we first instructed property lawyer, they told us that they were on all major UK lender panels. The financial adviser called just now to say that they don't appear to be on the Kent Reliance approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we just choose a different conveyancer that is on their approved list or should we cover the costs for separate representation, with Kent Reliance appointing their own approved lawyer.

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the lawyer has to meet. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should call Kent Reliance to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Kent Reliance's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Deptford lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another property lawyer into the mix.
