My wife and I are purchasing a ground floor flat in Hayling Island. At the point of instructing our property lawyer, we were told they were on all major UK mortgage company panels. Our financial adviser contacted us today to say that they don't appear to be on the Coventry BS approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we simply pick a new solicitor that is on their approved list or should we pay for dual representation, with Coventry BS selecting their own approved property lawyer.
When acquiring a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the buyer’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the conveyancer has to satisfy. Some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your conveyancer should contact Coventry BS to discover 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 Coventry BS's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Hayling Island lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
