My husband and I are buying a first floor flat in St Helier. At the point of instructing our lawyer, they said that they were on all mainstream bank panels. The mortgage broker contacted us yesterday to say that they are not on the Nottingham approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Do we just choose a new solicitor that is on their approved list or should we pay for separate representation, with Nottingham selecting their own preferred conveyancer.

Where you are purchasing a property requiring a mortgage it is normal for the purchaser’s lawyers to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the property lawyer has to satisfy. Some lenders now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should call Nottingham 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 Nottingham's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own St Helier solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
