Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Dursley

My partner and I are looking to buy a house in Dursley and are in fact using a Dursley conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our solicitor has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Norwich and Peterborough Building Society have this evening contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Dursley conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?

Where you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Dursley lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
