My wife and I have just had an offer accepted on a house and had meeting on Tuesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to appointing a lawyer that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancers then we will have to pay out an extra charge of £250+. This is because they will then have to appoint a solicitor to act for them as well as the one we appoint on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their invoice. I have requested Nationwide to supply me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?
You should ask Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide in the past. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide.
