My partner and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Monken Hadley. When we first instructed lawyer, they assured us that they were on all major UK mortgage company panels. Our financial adviser contacted us just now to advise that they don't appear to be on the Virgin Money approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we just pick a new conveyancer that is on their approved list or should we cover the costs for separate representation, with Virgin Money selecting their own preferred conveyancer.
When acquiring a property with mortgage finance it is conventional for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the lawyer has to meet. Some building societies now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancer should contact Virgin Money to discover 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 Virgin Money's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Monken Hadley solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another conveyancer into the equation.
