I am buying a ground floor flat in Putney. My property lawyer has never been on on the mortgage company approved panel. Can I still appoint my Putney conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel?
You will need to use a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the formalities when you need a mortgage to buy your property. The lawyer will carry out all the necessary investigations on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. One may select a Putney conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the property lawyer appointed is not a member of the bank solicitor panel supplemental costs will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not historically applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Leeds Building Society. Is it usual for Leeds Building Society to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Putney is approved on their conveyancing panel? Leeds Building Society have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Coventry BS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a apartment in Putney has been agreed to, what happens next?
Your property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (make sure the property lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Call up Coventry BS or your financial adviser and finalise any appropriate paperwork. Coventry BS will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Coventry BS will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Putney.
