We're in Fairbourne, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Co-operative , and our solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

We expect to receive a AIP from Santander this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

My wife and I are acquiring a studio flat in Fairbourne. At the time of instructing our conveyancer, they said that they were on all mainstream mortgage company panels. The financial adviser emailed just now to advise that they are not on the Skipton approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Should we just find a new conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or do we pay for separate representation, with Skipton selecting their own preferred conveyancer.

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is standard for the purchaser’s lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner 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 conditions which the solicitor has to satisfy. Some mortgage companies now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact Skipton to find out 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 are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Skipton's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Fairbourne lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
