I was advised recently by my mortgage adviser that my Seaton Sluice lawyer is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?
The best course of action for you to take is to call your Seaton Sluice conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Seaton Sluice conveyancing practice that is on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
We are nearing an exchange on a flat in Seaton Sluice and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your lawyer is duty bound to check with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

A selection of lenders now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

My partner and I have organised the release of further funds on our home loan from Co-operative as we want to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Seaton Sluice. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Seaton Sluice solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Co-operative don't usually require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative panel.
