Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Harrow Weald

My husband and I are looking to buy a house in Harrow Weald and are in fact using a Harrow Weald conveyancing practice. Within the past 48 hours our property lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Platform Home Loans Ltd have this evening contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Harrow Weald solicitor is not on their approved list of lawyers. Please explain?

When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is conventional for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. 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 mortgage company 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 lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Harrow Weald solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
