My fiance and I have just had an offer agreed on a flat and had an appointment on Friday with HSBC for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to appointing a property lawyer that if they are not on their approved panel of conveyancing practitioners then we will be subject to an an additional charge of £200. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to instruct a solicitor to act on their behalf as well as the one we appoint for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their invoice. I have requested HSBC to provide me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

Ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC in the past. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Alternatively please use our search tool and we should be able to identify a solicitor in Temple on the approved list for HSBC.
