When acquiring a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is standard for the purchaser’s solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the lawyer has to meet. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should call Lloyds to discover 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 Lloyds's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Beckermet lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
