Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Silvertown

My wife and I are hoping to acquire a property in Silvertown and are in fact using a Silvertown conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Barclays have this evening contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Silvertown conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?

Where you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' lawyers to also act for the mortgage company. 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 Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your lender 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 are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Silvertown solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
