My wife and I have just had an offer agreed on a house and had an appointment on Monday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to choosing a lawyer that if they are not on their approved list of property lawyers then we will incur an additional charge of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to instruct a conveyancer to act on their behalf as well as the one we choose to act on our behalf and we are liable for their costs. I have asked Nationwide to supply me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
You should ask Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide before. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide. Another option is to make use of our search facility and we may be able to identify a conveyancer in Wingate on the approved list for Nationwide.
