My IFA requires my Newent lawyer’ panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have contacted my local Newent office but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Newent lawyer . Most Newent conveyancing firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
I am buying a new build flat in Newent. Conveyancing solicitors are said to be ‘a necessary evil’ but can I do it myself?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Newent you will have to appoint a solicitor on your lender's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Newent.
Is it the case that all Newent solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the RBS conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. The majority of lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We were going to get a DIP from HSBC this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Newent solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the HSBC conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and HSBC through the process.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Newent conveyancing practitioner is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
