Myself and my husband have recently had an offer agreed on a flat and had meeting on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to selecting a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancing practitioners then we will incur an extra charge of about two hundred pounds. This is because they would then have to select a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we select for ourselves and we are liable for their fees. I have requested HSBC to furnish me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

You should ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the solicitor of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC before. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Alternatively please make use of our search tool and we should be able to find you a solicitor in Totnes on the approved list for HSBC.
