My fiance and I are looking to purchase a property in Rawdon and Yeadon and have instructed a Rawdon and Yeadon conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our conveyancer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with a view to exchanging next week. TSB have this morning contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Rawdon and Yeadon lawyer 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 usual for the purchasers' solicitors 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 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 solicitors to act. 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 Rawdon and Yeadon lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must leave my rented property in Rawdon and Yeadon by 1/12/2026. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice on a rental until you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, speak to your conveyancer and request that they seek the assistance the other side, try to an agreed time frame that all parties will look to achieve

We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers based in Rawdon and Yeadon on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate charge for handling the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Coventry BS?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Coventry BS but by your Rawdon and Yeadon solicitor. Some firms on the Coventry BS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
