Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook.

Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Brent Cross conveyancing searches.

I had an offer accepted on a house in Brent Cross on 3/11/2025, valuation was booked 3 days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nationwide and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Are Nationwide entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Our offer on a house in Brent Cross has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Brent Cross. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with RBS going?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Brent Cross conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your property lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.

In a buoyant market many purchasers will apply for a home loan with RBS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to proceed with searches.
