My fiance and I have just had an offer agreed on a flat and had an appointment on Wednesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to appointing a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancers then we will incur an extra fee of £200. This is because they would then have to instruct a conveyancer to act for them as well as the one we select for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their invoice. I have asked Leeds Building Society to provide me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

Ask Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Leeds Building Society before. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Leeds Building Society.
