Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

Myself and my husband have recently had an offer agreed on a flat and had meeting on Tuesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to appointing a solicitor that unless they are on their approved list of conveyancing practitioners then we will be subject to an a further charge of £250+. This is because they would then have to appoint a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we appoint for ourselves and we are liable for their costs. I have asked HSBC to furnish me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is their an easier way of going about this?
Ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC in the past. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with HSBC. Alternatively please use our search tool and we should be able to locate a conveyancing practitioner in Braunton on the panel for HSBC.
