My partner and I are purchasing a first floor flat in Glan Conwy. At the time of instructing our property lawyer, we were told they were on all mainstream lender panels. The financial adviser contacted us yesterday to say that they don't appear to be on the Virgin Money approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Should we just find a different solicitor that is on their approved list or do we pay for dual representation, with Virgin Money appointing their own preferred solicitor.
When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the buyer’s lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the solicitor has to fulfill. Some building societies now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancer should call Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Glan Conwy solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
