My fiance and I are planning to purchase a flat in Fowey and are in fact using a Fowey conveyancing firm.

Accord Mortgages Ltd have this afternoon contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Fowey lawyer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Please explain?

When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is usual for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your bank 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 the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Fowey lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
