I am purchasing a flat in Deptford. My Conveyancer has never been on on the bank solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Deptford conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
One must appoint a property lawyer to deal with the legal work required if you take out a mortgage to purchase your property. They will carry out all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in order. You may appoint a Deptford conveyancer of your choosing. However, if the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the mortgage company solicitor panel additional charges will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not historically applied for membership they can do so.

For instance, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
