I plan on acquiring an apartment in Wanborough. My Conveyancer is not listed on the bank approved list. Can I still appoint my Wanborough conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Various options include
- Proceed with your existing Wanborough conveyancing practitioner but your mortgage company will undoubtedly use a solicitor on their approved panel. The net result is additional charges together with probable delay.
- Appoint a new lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your solicitor to attempt to join the lender panel
We are selling our apartment in Wanborough. Will the solicitor need to be required to be on the Principality conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Principality conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Wanborough. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Wanborough?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Wanborough. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

My husband and I are in the process of viewing houses in Wanborough and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a property lawyer in place at this stage? I will be getting a home loan with Nottingham.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with Nottingham, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

Banks normally imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Wanborough property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
