My wife and I are acquiring a 2 bedroom flat in Swansea East. At the time of instructing our property lawyer, we were told they were on all major UK lender panels. The financial adviser called just now to say that they don't seem to be on the Principality approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we just pick a new conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or do we cover the costs for separate representation, with Principality appointing their own approved lawyer.
If you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is usual for the buyer’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the lawyer has to meet. Some lenders now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancing practitioner should contact Principality to discover 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 Principality's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Swansea East solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
