Myself and my fiance have just had an offer agreed on a flat and had an appointment on Wednesday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to choosing a solicitor that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancing practitioners then we will be subject to an a further charge of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to instruct a property lawyer to act on their behalf as well as the one we appoint for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their fees. I have asked the Post Office to supply me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?

You should ask the Post Office what their criteria for joining their panel is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans 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 should be able to find you a property lawyer in Botley on the approved list for the Post Office.
