Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Croydon

My wife and I are planning to buy a house in Croydon and have appointed a Croydon conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our solicitor has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Barnsley Building Society have this morning contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Croydon solicitor is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

If you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' lawyers to also act for 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 Quality 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 don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Croydon solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent.
