My mortgage broker says he needs my Parson Cross solicitor’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have tried my local Parson Cross branch but they have not responded to me.

Are the Parson Cross conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Co-operative?

The Parson Cross conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my house acquisition in Parson Cross have suddenly closed. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the Santander conveyancing panel and my family Parson Cross lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for £250 in advance. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Santander conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Parson Cross. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nationwide have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Nationwide your lawyer must check the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Nationwide where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Parson Cross.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by UBS. Is it usual for UBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Parson Cross is approved on their conveyancing panel? UBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
