My wife and I are buying a first floor flat in Lichfield. When we first instructed conveyancer, they told us that they were on all major UK lender panels. Our mortgage broker contacted us just now to advise that they are not on the Coventry BS approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we just find a new property lawyer that is on their panel or do we pay for separate representation, with Coventry BS appointing their own preferred lawyer.
When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is standard for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. 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 conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the solicitor has to meet. Some building societies now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should call 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 Lichfield lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
