Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Rhosneigr solicitor having checked that they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Rhosneigr postcode.

My nephew is embarking on her first house purchase, he had his mortgage in principle. One the offer was accepted on house we contacted the lender to progress the mortgage application. I was shocked to hear that mortgage lenders do not accept all conveyancing practitioner, they have to be on a list, is this legal?
Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Rhosneigr lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
