I am considering applying for a Virgin Money mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Sutton on Trent with 60% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Virgin Money ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, but Virgin Money would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
