The mortgage broker contacted us yesterday to say that they don't appear to be on the Barclays approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Do we simply choose a new lawyer that is on their panel or do we pay for separate representation, with Barclays selecting their own preferred property lawyer.
When buying a property with mortgage finance it is usual for the buyer’s lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. 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 fulfill. Some banks now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should call Barclays 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 don't have to instruct a firm on Barclays's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Farnham lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
