Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sherston

My husband and I are hoping to purchase a house in Sherston and are in fact using a Sherston conveyancing practice. Within the past 48 hours our conveyancer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Accord Mortgages Ltd have this morning contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Sherston conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. What do we do from here?

Where you are buying a property needing a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. 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 property lawyer should contact your lender 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 bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Sherston lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
