We're in Countesthorpe, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Kent Reliance , and our solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Me and my wife have just had an offer accepted on a property and had meeting on Monday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to appointing a solicitor that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancers then we will incur an extra charge of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to select a property lawyer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we choose to act on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their fees. I have requested Leeds Building Society to send me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
You can enquire of Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for Leeds Building Society before. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Leeds Building Society. Alternatively please utilise our search facility and we may be able to find you a conveyancing practitioner in Countesthorpe on the panel for Leeds Building Society.
