My wife and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Henleaze. At the point of instructing our lawyer, they said that they were on all major UK bank panels. Our mortgage broker called today to say that they don't seem to be on the Barclays approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we just pick a different property lawyer that is on their panel or do we pay for separate representation, with Barclays selecting their own preferred property lawyer.
When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is standard 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 list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the solicitor has to satisfy. Some banks now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should call Barclays 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 don't have to instruct a firm on Barclays's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Henleaze lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another property lawyer into the mix.
