Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Willerby

My husband and I are planning to buy a property in Willerby and have instructed a Willerby conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our solicitor has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with a view to exchanging next week. Virgin Money have this morning contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Willerby lawyer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Please explain?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is conventional for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Willerby solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

The mortgage broker emailed today to advise that they don't seem to be on the Barclays approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we simply find a new conveyancer that is on their approved list or do we cover the costs for separate representation, with Barclays appointing their own approved conveyancer.

When buying a property with mortgage finance it is conventional for the buyer’s lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the conveyancing practitioner has to satisfy. Some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact Barclays 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 Barclays's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Willerby lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
