My husband and I are looking to acquire a house in Bovey Tracey and are in fact using a Bovey Tracey conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Nationwide Building Society have this morning contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Bovey Tracey conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Please explain?
Where you are buying a property needing a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. 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 solicitor 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 lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Bovey Tracey solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
