Myself and my wife have recently had an offer accepted on a flat and had meeting on Friday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to appointing a lawyer that if they are not on their approved list of lawyers then we will be subject to an an additional charge of £200. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to appoint a property lawyer to act for them as well as the one we choose to act on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their invoice. I have requested Nationwide to provide me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?
You can enquire of Nationwide what their criteria for joining their panel is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for Nationwide historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide. Another option is to use our search facility and we may be able to find you a solicitor in Cowley on the approved list for Nationwide.
