My wife and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Kingswinford. When we first instructed lawyer, we were told they were on all mainstream mortgage company panels. Our financial adviser contacted us yesterday to advise that they don't seem to be on the Coventry BS approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we just choose a different conveyancing practitioner that is on their approved list or should we pay for dual representation, with Coventry BS appointing their own approved conveyancing practitioner.
If you are acquiring a property requiring a mortgage it is conventional for the buyer’s lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the conveyancing practitioner has to fulfill. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should call Coventry BS to discover 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 are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Coventry BS's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Kingswinford solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another solicitor into the mix.
