My Solicitor in Kimberley has never been on on the Britannia Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Britannia panel?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Kimberley lawyers but Britannia will need to instruct a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the total legal fees as well as cause frustration.
- Get a new lawyer to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Britannia approved.
- Persuade your Britannia solicitor to seek to join the Britannia panel

Me and my wife have agreed a price on a Kimberley flat we inherited 5 years ago in 2009. I have over twenty years conveyancing experience and, although retired, wish to carry out my own legal work. The buyer's property lawyer has informed me that their building society will not allow you to do your own conveyancing requiring the funds to be passed via a solicitor's bank account.
Mortgage requirements to conveyancing practitioners from all CML members specify that If the seller does not have legal representation the borrower's lawyers should check whether the mortgage company needs to be notified so that a decision can be made as to whether or not they are prepared to progress.
