Your solicitor 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 don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own South Petherton and Lambrook solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
