Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Woolwich

My fiance and I are looking to purchase a home in Woolwich and are in fact using a Woolwich conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our property lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Bank of Ireland have this morning contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Woolwich solicitor is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?

Where you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. 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 Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your mortgage company and see 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 the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Woolwich lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
