My fiance and I have recently had an offer agreed on a flat and had an appointment on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to appointing a property lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of conveyancers then we will have to pay out an additional charge of £200. This is because they would then have to instruct a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we choose to act for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have asked HSBC to send me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is their an easier way of going about this?
You can enquire of HSBC what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Then ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC historically. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with HSBC. Another option is to use our search tool and we may be able to locate a conveyancer in Woodhall Spa on the approved list for HSBC.
