My property lawyer in High Peak is not listed on the National Westminster Bank Approved Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the National Westminster Bank approved list?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your preferred High Peak solicitors but National Westminster Bank will need to instruct a conveyancer on their panel. This will result in additional overall conveyancing fees and cause frustration.
- Find a new lawyer to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are National Westminster Bank approved.
- Try to convince your National Westminster Bank based solicitor to try to join the National Westminster Bank panel
