My husband and I are looking to acquire a property in Peterston Super Ely and are in fact using a Peterston Super Ely conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our solicitor has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Godiva Mortgages Ltd have this afternoon contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Peterston Super Ely lawyer is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?
Where you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your bank and see 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 the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Peterston Super Ely lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
