I can't travel far from Walderslade. Please clarify why all Walderslade property lawyers aren't included on all bank panels?

Mortgage Companies tend to restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. Frequent examples of such criteria being that a organisation needs to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some have decided to limit the number of conveyancers they use to represent them. It is worth noting that banks have no liability for the quality of service given by any Walderslade solicitor on their approved list. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the rationalisation of conveyancing panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are opposing assessments about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics published by HMLR reveal that thousands of law practices only transact less than three conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel culls ask why law firms should have the right to remain on a conveyancing panel when clearly property law is not their speciality?

What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Skipton started with Skipton?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain given your reluctance to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Walderslade conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Skipton approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Skipton and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to press on with searches.
