Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gerrards Cross and Chalfont

My husband and I are hoping to acquire a flat in Gerrards Cross and Chalfont and are in fact using a Gerrards Cross and Chalfont conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our solicitor has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Aldermore have this morning contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Gerrards Cross and Chalfont conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. Please explain?

Where you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. 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 solicitor 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 are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Gerrards Cross and Chalfont solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
