I am getting a mortgage offer from Lloyds. I intend to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Gidea Park. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Gidea Park for our home move. Our financial adviser has since notified us that our mortgage company Coventry Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Lenders tend to restrict either the category or the amount of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such criteria being that a law practice must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some have limited the number of solicitor practices they use to represent them. You should note that Coventry Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Coventry Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of solicitor panels since 2008 even though there are mixed views concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Gidea Park only perform one or two conveyances a year.

Can you help - my lawyer says that defective lease insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Gidea Park conveyancing?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
My offer was accepted on a house in Gidea Park on 16/1/2026, valuation was booked 3 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Skipton and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Are Skipton entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
