My fiance and I have recently had an offer accepted on a property and had meeting on Tuesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to choosing a solicitor that unless they are on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will be subject to an an extra fee of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to appoint a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we select for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their fees. I have requested HSBC to provide me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?

Ask HSBC what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Then ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC in the past. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with HSBC. Alternatively please use our search tool and we should be able to find you a property lawyer in Temple on the panel for HSBC.
