Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cramlington

My husband and I are hoping to purchase a home in Cramlington and have instructed a Cramlington conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our conveyancer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Nationwide Building Society have this morning contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Cramlington lawyer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Please explain?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. 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 bank and see 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 are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Cramlington lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

The person best placed to deal with your question is your lawyer who should assess if they corresponding with the mortgage company, seller’s conveyancers, selling agents or conceivably all parties given what has happend in your conveyancing as of today.
