I have been pointed in your direction by a few estate agents in Fenny Stratford to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your services over and above a competitor’s?

My wife and I have recently had an offer agreed on a apartment and had an appointment on Friday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to appointing a solicitor that if they are not on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will have to pay out an additional fee of £200. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to appoint a property lawyer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we select on our behalf and we are liable for their costs. I have asked Nationwide to furnish me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?
Ask Nationwide what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide in the past. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide. Alternatively please use our search tool and we may be able to identify a property lawyer in Fenny Stratford on the approved list for Nationwide.
