My property lawyer in Hampton is not listed on the Clydesdale Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Clydesdale approved list?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred Hampton solicitors but Clydesdale will need to retain a solicitor on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the total legal charges as well as cause delays.
- Find a new lawyer to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are on the Clydesdale panel
It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Hampton building society branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Hampton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The conveyancer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
About to purchase apartment in Hampton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Hampton conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality conveyancing panel.
Barclays have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a house in Hampton has been accepted, what happens next?
Your estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Barclays or your broker and finalise any relevant paperwork. Barclays will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to book a time for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Barclays will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Hampton.

My friend mentioned that when choosing a conveyancing firm they need approved by your mortgage company. I am first time buyer with but I have an AIP with Santander and I already have a family conveyancing solicitor in Hampton on standby. Will HSBC require an approved lawyer to be selected? If so, where do I find that list so I can appoint a conveyancing solicitor in Hampton?
You need to choose a solicitor that is on the HSBC panel. Simply call your chosen Hampton conveyancing lawyer to check if they are on the HSBC panel. If they are not on the panel you have a number of options open to you here:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Hampton conveyancing practitioner but HSBC will need to instruct a lawyer on their approved panel. The net result is additional fees and likely delay.
- Choose a fresh solicitor to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to do everything within their powers to get accepted on the HSBC panel of solicitors.
