Most buyers of new build residence in East Acton approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in East Acton usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.

My partner and I are acquiring a ground floor flat in East Acton. When we first instructed solicitor, they said that they were on all major UK bank panels. Our financial adviser called today to say that they don't seem to be on the Lloyds approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we just choose a different conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or should we pay for separate representation, with Lloyds appointing their own approved property lawyer.
If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is conventional for the buyer’s solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the 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 building societies now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your lawyer should contact Lloyds and see 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 don't have to instruct a firm on Lloyds's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own East Acton solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
