I am considering applying for a Nottingham mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Grange Over Sands with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, but Nottingham would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
