My partner and I are buying a ground floor flat in Yeadon. When we first instructed solicitor, we were told they were on all mainstream mortgage company panels. The financial adviser contacted us just now to say that they don't seem to be on the Co-operative approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Should we just choose a different conveyancing practitioner that is on their approved list or do we pay for dual representation, with Co-operative selecting their own preferred solicitor.
When acquiring a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is usual for the purchaser’s lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. 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 lawyer has to satisfy. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact Co-operative to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on Co-operative's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Yeadon lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
