My partner and I have just had an offer agreed on a property and had an appointment on Wednesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to selecting a solicitor that if they are not on their approved panel of solicitors then we will incur an extra charge of £200. This is because they would then have to select a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we appoint for ourselves and we are liable for their costs. I have asked Nationwide to supply me with a list so I can seek quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?

Ask Nationwide what their criteria for panel membership is for a solicitor.Then ask the solicitor of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide in the past. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide. Alternatively please utilise our search tool and we may be able to identify a property lawyer in Gower on the panel for Nationwide.
