Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Willerby who conducted the legals 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Better the devil I know or should I try and find an alternative property lawyer?

My partner and I are acquiring a ground floor flat in Willerby. At the point of instructing our conveyancing practitioner, we were told they were on all major UK lender panels. Our mortgage broker emailed today to say that they are not on the Clydesdale approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Should we just find a new lawyer that is on their panel or should we pay for dual representation, with Clydesdale selecting their own preferred conveyancing practitioner.
Where you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is normal for the buyer’s lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner 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 criteria which the property lawyer has to fulfill. Some mortgage companies now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancing practitioner should call Clydesdale 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 are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Clydesdale's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Willerby solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
