Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Leamouth

My wife and I are planning to purchase a flat in Leamouth and are in fact using a Leamouth conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with a view to exchanging next week. Barclays Direct have this afternoon contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Leamouth solicitor is not on their approved list of lawyers. What do we do from here?

Where you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Leamouth lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
