My mortgage broker has asked me for my Knottingley lawyer’ panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have tried my local Knottingley branch but they have not responded to me.
Have you tried speaking to your Knottingley solicitor about this?. Most Knottingley conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Knottingley for our home move. Our broker has since notified us that our mortgage company Barnsley Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Lenders in the main imposes restrictions either the type or the volume of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that a firm must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the profile of firm, some have decided to limit the number of solicitor practices they allow to act for them. Be aware that Barnsley Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Barnsley Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of solicitor panels since 2008 even though there remains mixed views about the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Knottingley only perform a couple conveyances per annum.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Knottingley. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Clydesdale have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Clydesdale your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease does not satisfy these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Knottingley.
My wife and I are spending time looking at apartments in Knottingley and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this stage? I am planning to take a home loan with Principality.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Principality, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Principality conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
