My partner and I are purchasing a leasehold flat in Osterley. My Solicitor has never been on on the lender conveyancing list. Can I still use my Osterley conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank approved list?
One will need to appoint a property lawyer to deal with the formalities when you require a loan to buy your property. They will conduct all the necessary due diligence on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in place. One could select a Osterley conveyancing practitioner of your choice. However, where the conveyancer appointed is not on the lender solicitor panel additional charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so if your solicitor has not historically sought membership they can do so.

Some major banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Osterley. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Principality be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Principality your lawyer must check the formal requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The CML Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Principality where a lease does not meet these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Osterley.
Our offer on a house in Osterley has been agreed to, the sellers do however have a tied purchase. The sellers have offered on a flat, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Osterley. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Osterley conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your property lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to press on with searches.
