The closing balance that is needed will be payable a couple of days ahead of the day of completion.

My husband and I are acquiring a first floor flat in Kendal. When we first instructed conveyancing practitioner, they told us that they were on all mainstream mortgage company panels. The mortgage broker contacted us today to say that they are not on the Kent Reliance approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we just choose a different conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or do we pay for separate representation, with Kent Reliance selecting their own preferred solicitor.
If you are purchasing a property requiring a mortgage it is normal for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancer 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 conditions which the lawyer has to fulfill. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should call Kent Reliance to find out 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 Kent Reliance's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Kendal solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another conveyancing practitioner into the equation.
