My partner and I are intent on purchasing a ground floor flat in Llanberis. My property lawyer is not listed on the bank approved list. Is it possible for me to appoint my Llanberis conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender panel?
One will need to have a conveyancer to complete the legal work required when you take out a mortgage to purchase your home. The property lawyer will carry out all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in place. One may appoint a Llanberis solicitor of your choice. However, where the conveyancer selected is not a member of the mortgage company approved list supplemental fees will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not in the past sought membership they can do so.
We're in Llanberis, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Santander , and our lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

My fiance and I have just had an offer accepted on a apartment and had meeting on Tuesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to selecting a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancing practitioners then we will be subject to an a further fee of £250+. This is because they will then have to instruct a conveyancer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we select for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their costs. I have requested HSBC to send me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?
You can enquire of HSBC what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Alternatively please use our search facility and we should be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in Llanberis on the approved list for HSBC.
