My husband and I are buying a ground floor flat in Yarmouth. At the time of instructing our lawyer, they assured us that they were on all mainstream mortgage company panels. The mortgage broker contacted us yesterday to advise that they are not on the Nottingham approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Should we just pick a new lawyer that is on their panel or should we pay for dual representation, with Nottingham appointing their own approved lawyer.
When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the conveyancer has to fulfill. Some mortgage companies now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your lawyer should contact Nottingham to find out 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 Nottingham's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Yarmouth lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another conveyancing practitioner into the mix.
