I had an offer accepted on a house in Retford on 11/12/2025, valuation was booked 4 days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to RBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Are RBS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Retford may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

My husband and I are a couple of weeks into a freehold purchase having been recommend to conveyancers by the estate agent to do our conveyancing in Retford. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?

They would need to be really bad to suggest diss instructing them. Has the loan offer been sent? In the event that it has you must advise them of the new lawyer and have the offer are issued to the new lawyers. Your conveyancer needs to be on the banks approved list to avoid added fees and complications. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers.
