My mortgage broker has asked me for my Carshalton solicitor’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have called my local Carshalton office but they have not responded to me.
You are best placed to get this information from your Carshalton conveyancing practitioner . They retain a central record lender panel numbers.
we are a couple who decided to purchase a newbuild apartment in Carshalton with a loan from Barclays .We would like to retain our Carshalton conveyancing solicitor but Barclays advised that she’s not on their "panel". It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Barclays panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers needs to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays

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

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
