Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wedmore

My partner and I are hoping to acquire a property in Wedmore and have instructed a Wedmore conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our property lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with the expectation that exchange is imminent. The Royal Bank of Scotland have this evening contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Wedmore conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. Please explain?

When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is normal for the purchasers' lawyers 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 solicitor should contact your lender 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 Wedmore lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
