Me and my husband are buying a leasehold flat in Empingham. My Conveyancer has never been on on the mortgage company solicitor panel.

You must instruct a conveyancing practitioner to complete the legal work required if you take out a mortgage to purchase your home. They will conduct all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in place. You could appoint a Empingham conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the lawyer selected is not a member of the bank approved list further charges will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not historically applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.
