My partner and I have just had an offer accepted on a property and had an appointment on Wednesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to selecting a property lawyer that unless they are on their approved list of conveyancers then we will have to pay out a further charge of £200. This is because they would then have to instruct a property lawyer to act for them as well as the one we choose to act for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their costs. I have requested Leeds Building Society to send me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

Ask Leeds Building Society what their criteria for panel membership is for a conveyancer.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Leeds Building Society in the past. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Leeds Building Society. Alternatively please use our search tool and we should be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in Paddock Wood on the approved list for Leeds Building Society.
