Are the Maulden conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the TSB conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by TSB?
Maulden conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from TSB directly.
My Conveyancer in Maulden has never been on on the Nationwide Building Society Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Nationwide Building Society panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred Maulden lawyers but Nationwide Building Society will need to use a conveyancer on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the total legal charges as well as cause delays.
- Find a new solicitor to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are on the Nationwide Building Society panel

Do I need to be concerned that brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an internet conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Maulden conveyancing firm?
As with many service providers, often referrals from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all put forward conveyancers to instruct. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there exists a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to select your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some lenders operate an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your conveyancing.
We are a fortnight into a freehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the high street agent to carry out the conveyancing in Maulden. We are not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new solicitors?

We have had DIP from Aldermore who suggested we could borrow up to £300k. When do I need to appoint a practitioner for conveyancing? Maulden is where we plan to move to.
You can appoint a conveyancing practitioner now so that the property lawyer can open the ledger so they can do their ID checks etc. If and when you wish them to commence work you will be asked for a deposit usually about £175. That should generally be once you have the loan offer from your lender and valuation report, nevertheless should you wish to speed matters you can start the ball rolling quicker albeit risking some expense.
