As far as conveyancing in Sutton on Trent registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales.

Me and my husband have recently had an offer agreed on a flat and had meeting on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to appointing a conveyancer that unless they are on their approved panel of lawyers then we will incur an additional fee of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to instruct a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we select for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have requested HSBC to supply me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?
Ask HSBC what their criteria for panel membership is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC before. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with HSBC. Another option is to use our search tool and we should be able to locate a conveyancing practitioner in Sutton on Trent on the panel for HSBC.
