Me and my husband have recently had an offer agreed on a flat and had an appointment on Friday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to appointing a lawyer that if they are not on their approved list of solicitors then we will be subject to an a further charge of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to instruct a property lawyer to act for them in addition to the one we appoint on our behalf and we are liable for their invoice. I have asked the Post Office to send me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?
You can enquire of the Post Office what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for the Post Office historically. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with the Post Office. Another option is to utilise our search tool and we may be able to identify a lawyer in Chaddesden on the panel for the Post Office.
